Phil Whitehouse, head of TMA, commented: “In light of the recent MPC decision to hold the Bank of England bank base rate at 0.5% these semi-exclusive tracker deals from AfI stack up well within the intermediary marketplace. It’s a positive sign to see LTV levels on these semi-exclusives at 80% and when combined with stamp duty reforms this will help to stimulate the first time buyer market which remains a vital cog in the mortgage wheel. Of course it’s also important not to forget remortgage customers and it is a welcomed sight to see lenders releasing semi-exclusive deals via their key accounts and at TMA, we invite brokers to take full advantage of these great offerings.”
