Aldermore has today announced the re-introduction of products and rate reductions in its residential mortgage range to support homeowners and first time buyers realise their home buying dreams. A full list can be found in the notes to editors.

Help for the those with ‘less than perfect’ credit

We recognise that many customers have complex financial histories or credit blips in their past, which can cause problems when trying to secure a mortgage or refinance. Our re-introduced tiers, level 2 and 3 options, mean we now consider those with more complex credit issues in their past, such as CCJs or defaults registered over 6 months, bankruptcy or IVA discharged for 2 years, mortgage or secured loan arrears over 3 months ago, or forced or voluntary possessions older than 3 years.

New products available from today:

Level 2 – 2 and 5 year fixed rate options from 3.68% with loan to value (LTV) up to 80%
Level 3 – 2 and 5 year fixed rate options from 4.18%, with LTV up to 80%

According to Aldermore’s First Time Buyer Index¹, two fifths (38%) of prospective first time buyers were rejected for a mortgage once and 43% were rejected for a mortgage more than once. The number one reason for the rejection was credit history issues. Recognising this, Aldermore bank has also re-introduced level 2 and level 3 in our Help to Buy: equity loan range providing greater options for first time buyers,

New products available from today:

Level 2 – 2 and 5 year fixed rate options from 4.38% with loan to value (LTV) up to 75%
Level 3 – 2 and 5 year fixed rate options from 4.88%, with LTV up to 75%

Reduced rates and re-introduced zero product fee High LTV options

To further support first time buyers and homeowners we’ve reduced rates and re-introduced zero product fee High LTV options:

Rate reductions at 85% and 90% LTV on our £999 fee products (between 0.20% – 0.30%).
Re-introduction of zero product fee options at 85%, 90% and 95% LTV with free valuations. Plus free legals on remortgages.

Jon Cooper, commercial director of mortgages, Aldermore, comments:

“Life is a long road with many experiencing bumps along the way, so it’s reasonable to expect some may have had credit blips in the past. At Aldermore, we believe that less than perfect credit shouldn’t be a complete barrier to home ownership and people deserve the opportunity to realise their life goal of finding a home.

“We’re delighted to announce our expanded range for homeowners and first time buyers and, through our human approach to lending which enables us to consider each case on its individual merits, we can support customers in finding the right mortgage for them.”
