Wiping the slate with Mortgage Express

The latest innovation in the non-conforming market has come from Mortgage Express, with the launch of its ˜Clean Slate’ mortgage.

The product is aimed at customers who have overcome previous credit problems and is available to all customers who can provide a clean 12-month credit history.

Lending up to 90% of the property’s value, the product has no mortgage indemnity charge.

Pricing is linked to the Bank of England base rate and borrowers can choose flexible payments, allowing them to under or over-pay, take a payment holiday or borrow extra cash.

David Connolly, product manager at MortgageExpress, said: ‘This is the first time we have offered a mortgage aimed at customers who have had past problems with credit. It is designed to help people who have cleared their debts and want to start again ‘ that is why we have called it ˜Clean Slate’.’

The mortgage is available to clients who have experienced an unlimited number of CCJs up to a maximum value of £10,000. CCJs do not have to be satisfied, but no new ones should have been experienced in the last 12 months.

The standard rate is 2.25% above Bank of England base rate, and Mortgage Express is offering a five-year discount of 0.75%, or a five-year fixed rate at 6.49%. A two-year fixed rate product at 5.49% is also available.
