Guy Batchelor, Sales & Marketing Director at Platform, commented;

"We have not had a major review of our Non Conforming range for nearly a year. The performance of our Non Conforming loan book has been extremely good and we are therefore keen to originate more volume in 2005.

"We are delighted that our new Right To Buy range is market leading in terms of price and loan to values available. In recognition of the growth of remortgage business, we have also launched new products, in the form of a new 75% Fast Track mortgage, and a £500 Cashback on the whole Fast-Track

range, to help these borrowers meet the costs associated with remortgaging.
