Vida Homeloans has made changes to its new build proposition, as well as introducing a ‘speedier’ remortgage process by allowing conveyancers to use its No Search Indemnity insurance.
The lender has extended its new build mortgage offer period from four to six months and removed the need for a re-inspection to be carried out prior to completion.
It also has a dedicated underwriting team in Skipton, North Yorkshire. If the build overruns, offers can be extended by up to a further six months.
Vida has also announced that for remortgages, all conveyancers on its panel can now use its No Search Indemnity insurance, including on portfolios, HMOs and MUBs. This results in a faster process and much lower costs to the customer.
Louisa Sedgwick (pictured), director of sales – mortgages at Vida Homeloans, said: “Vida Homeloans is always keen to offer the best value to customers, and this is shown through improvements made to our new build proposition and introduction of a speedier remortgage process.
“Our aim at Vida is to ensure that we provide the best products available to the specialist customer, whilst matching the value added services that they can get on the high street.
“If we can offer solutions which save the customer time and money, then that is the way forward for us at Vida.”
