UCB extends free valuations

The offer, which enables customers to save between £230 and £730 in upfront valuation fees, was to have been withdrawn at the end of November, but will now run until 15 December.

The free standard valuation is available across UCB Home Loans’ core range of self-cert and buy-to-let products, for both purchase and remortgage applications, except on Early Repayment Charge (ERC) free products.

There is no cap on the offer and the valuation fee has been completely removed, rather than offered as a refund.

Keith Astill, managing director at UCB Home Loans, said: “This offer has been extremely popular with customers and the feedback we have received from intermediaries has prompted us to extend the offer for a further two weeks”.
