In this latest discussion, Skipton Building Society's mortgage product lead Vicky Bradley and senior credit risk analyst Diane Harrison outline the mutual’s decisioning around its offering to borrowers requiring high loan to value mortgages and finance against new-build properties.
Hosted by Shekina Tuahene, commercial editor at Mortgage Solutions and Specialist Lending Solutions, the two Skipton guests debate the mutual’s recent increase of its loan to income ratio for those with smaller deposits and expansion of 95 per cent LTV lending to newly-built homes.

For mortgage intermediaries and professionals-only
In a wide-ranging, no-nonsense debate, the expert Skipton Building Society panel discuss how to get mortgage deals through with group editor of Mortgage Solutions Victoria Hartley.
Skipton’s head of new lending Karen Appleton and intermediary lead John Scrivens debate how advisers might want to approach the £40bn of remortgage business reaching term-end in 2022, the mutual’s nuanced strategy on getting new build deals through and its own ‘penny perfect’ mortgage calculators and the difference that can make to the application process.
With something like 40 per cent of remortgage cases coming in over-valued right now, our panel brainstorms pre-prepping valuation documents to get them to stack up for the lender and the extra help on hand for specialist cases increasingly hitting the lender’s desk.
This is must-listen for all mortgage intermediaries and the wider property industry.
Hosted by Shekina Tuahene, commercial editor Mortgage Solutions and Specialist Lending Solutions, we're joined by Jon Rawley, business development manager and Julian Raper, underwriter (SME) at Skipton Building Society who chat to us about the importance of engaging with a BDM before an application is submitted to smooth the mortgage process.

This week on the Mortgage Solutions podcast, sponsored by Skipton Intermediaries, we discuss how lenders' underwriting requirements for self-employed borrowers have dramatically changed since the start of the pandemic.
Thousands of businesses have been forced to close because of local and national lockdowns and many more, who have stayed open, will have relied on some form of government support, furloughed staff or have suffered a drop in earnings.
Naturally banks and building societies are more cautious lending to this group of individuals than they were before March.
So how can brokers and lenders work together to support borrowers who remain in genuinely viable businesses, but have taken blows during the crisis?
Mortgage Solutions contributing editor Samantha Partington discusses these changes with Jon Rawley, business development manager south west Skipton Intermediaries, David Hollingworth director at L&C Mortgages, and Trevor Quinn Thomas managing director of HQ Mortgage and Finance.
This is for intermediary use only, is not mortgage advice and the views are contributors' own.
