Richard Norrington, CEO at Ipswich Building Society, said: “By recognising buyers’ demand for longer term mortgage products at this time, and adjusting our rates to reflect this, we are pleased to offer our borrowers stability with regards to their monthly mortgage commitments.
“Landlords, including those based overseas, and older borrowers often have an unusual set of circumstances or changing lifestyles and incomes.
“Our manual underwriting approach, which sees real people making the decisions about affordability, allows us to assist borrowers who may otherwise be denied access by the automated approach deployed by some mortgage lenders.”
Last week, Ipswich Building Society reported a 35 per cent drop in gross mortgage lending for the year ending 30 November 2018, to £104m from £159m in 2017.
