M2000 and UCB launch self-cert product

With swap rates remaining high there are only a handful of 2-year Self-Certification discounts with a pay rate below 5% available. Furthermore, the product has a low arrangement fee bucking the trend of low rate high fee products being released.

The exclusive will be available via two of Mortgage 2000 distribution channels, namely m2-mortgage club or m2-d&p. m2-mortgage club has a direct to lender panel and can be accessed by any intermediary without pre-registration. In this case, an introducer fee of 0.42 per cent with a minimum fee of £200 and no maximum is available on directly submitted business. Alternatively, m2-d&p will also pay an introducer fee of 0.45 per cent min £200 and again no max, which gives intermediaries a choice of application route.
