In brief

Mortgage Express application system back online

After being blighted by technical problems which forced its decisioning system offline for over a week, Mortgage Express has announced that service has now returned to normal. The lender said it had tested and fixed the underlying problems with the online system and, while it had not been tested with large business volumes, it stressed it should be working normally. The problem struck on 28 July after a fault occurred while mortgage processing software was being upgraded.
