Metro Bank looks to support landlords by entering consumer BTL market

Metro Bank has announced that it will now accept consumer buy-to-let mortgage applications.

The new products will support landlords where at least one of the applicants does not own any other buy-to-let properties and where they or a close relative has resided in the property since its purchase.

Charles Morley, director mortgage distribution at Metro Bank, commented: “We’ve seen significant demand for this type of mortgage following the implementation of the European Mortgage Credit Directive and are pleased to now be able to offer the product to landlords up and down the country.

“Coming on the back of our announcement earlier this year on Portfolio BTL, today’s news demonstrates our ability to support an even wider range of customers and broker partners.”
