Chetwood is preparing to launch ModaMortgages, a new specialist buy-to-let mortgage lender.

Rob's remit will cover the shared ownership, estate agency, broker and new build segments.

89% of brokers say they have to work harder to secure the loan size their clients want as a result of the cost-of-living crisis.

The lender has introduced lending on a wider range of property types and a higher LTV for new build flats.

Product availability has increased by 250 compared to six months ago.

4 million of the 7.5 million aspiring homeowners in the UK don’t think they will ever be able to own their home.

Borrowers will benefit from a lower rate automatically as mortgage balances reduce and LTVs fall.

As part of his new role, Mark will support members' training and development.

Adverse credit criteria accounted for 26.77% of the top criteria in 2023.

Early 2024 sales activity saw a 33% increase compared to December last year.
