The Mortgage Works introduces adverse credit range

The new mortgage portfolio offers Light Adverse and Credit Repair mortgages at low fixed and discounted rates with no extended early redemption charges.

Commenting on the new range, Matthew Wyles, Group Development Director, said, "The Mortgage Works is already an innovative and fast growing specialist lender. This product launch will act as our bridgehead into the adverse market from which we intend to build a much broader presence. We hope to see many of our impaired credit borrowers graduating over time into our highly competitive prime mortgages and becoming members of Portman Building Society. If they make their payments on time, we will do the rest."
