Mark Bullard, head of sales at NatWest Intermediary Solutions, said: “The introduction of the higher LTV mortgages to our current account range means that we have an extensive choice of products for intermediaries across a broad range of LTVs and terms.

"For those applicants who already have an existing banking relationship with NatWest or RBS there are added benefits to be had from the main bank and current account ranges. And for those applicants who don’t, we still have a good variety of mortgages in our core range.”
