“This news will be music to many ears!

After the Scottish First home fund ran out in less than a week, this news will be the saviour to many.

Lenders are gradually extending the 95% LTV option to their own portfolio as well as the government backed scheme.  I welcome this as it will ultimately start to reduce the 85/90% product rates as well.

Allowing the first time buyer to buy, will keep the next time buyers moving, with more choice of product and less stress on saving that 10/15%, we hope to see a continually strong market throughout 2021.”
