Martin Coates, sales and marketing director at London Scottish Mortgages, said: “We expect this price reduction along with the introduction of discounts to be well received. In the current environment, where rates are rising, this reduction is a clear indication of our commitment to leading this sector.”

Many non-conforming lenders are recognised players, and do a good job but they need to make the correlation between the rate and the price.”
