Astra enhances range

The lender has launched a range of risk-priced buy-to-let mortgage products, which take full advantage of the fact that Norwich & Peterborough Building Society was the first to obtain the Basel ll waiver from the Financial Services Authority.

Graham Toy, chief executive of Astra, said: “These new products will be very exciting for mortgage introducers and their clients. As the first lender to be approved by the Financial Services Authority to offer Basel ll risk-based pricing we have the ability to offer extremely competitive products for low risk mortgage applicants.”
