The news comes as Digital Mortgages by Atom bank claimed best new entrant at the Mortgage Introducer Awards and Best Fixed Rate Lender at the Personal Finance Awards on Wednesday 28 November.

Harris, added: “When we first launched back in 2016, we wanted to make the journey of buying a home, or remortgaging, easier by offering real, tangible support to our customers, in conjunction with our network of independent mortgage specialists.
