Scottish BS pauses holiday let and self-build mortgage applications
Scottish Building Society has temporarily paused new applications on certain ranges to allow it to maintain its current service levels.
Mortgages for new guest house, holiday let, self-build and residential discount borrowers will be withdrawn at 5pm on 18 August.
Pending applications can be submitted until the products are pulled. The mutual has encouraged brokers to call business development managers with any questions.
Stephen Brown, head of intermediaries, said: “We are currently experiencing unprecedented demand for our products.
