Across its product transfers, its two-, three- and five-year fixed products at 60 to 75 per cent LTV have gone down by 0.28 per cent. 

Meanwhile, its three- and five-year fixes at 85 per cent LTV which have decreased by 0.29 per cent.

Additionally, the lender has temporarily withdrawn all buy-to-let and Help to Buy mortgages for new business. 

A spokesperson for Platform said: “We’ve taken the decision to temporarily withdraw some of our products from the market as we continue to see unprecedented demand for new mortgages.  

“We are prioritising existing applications to ensure we’re able to maintain our service levels for customers. We will continue to review our product range with the aim to reintroduce more options at the earliest opportunity.” 

 

TSB pulls shared equity deals 

TSB has withdrawn all its shared equity house purchase and remortgage products at 75-85 per cent loan to value (LTV) tiers. 

Its two- and five-year fixes up to 75 per cent LTV remain for shared equity borrowers with larger deposits. 

A TSB spokesperson said: “These changes are part of our regular view of our products.”
