Leeds expands self-cert range

The product has no higher lending charge, is available up to 80% loan-to-value (LTV) and allows 10% capital repayments each year without penalty.

Karen Wint, head of marketing & PR, said: "The take up on our self-cert mortgages has been excellent and the products, combined with the service we offer, confirms that clients like what we are offering.
