Shawbrook Bank is one of our most popular lenders. We benefit from having a great rapport with the whole Shawbrook team who are very much a “can do” lender. If an application falls slightly outside criteria but it makes sense, the client is benefitting and more importantly can afford the loan, then Shawbrook will often consider lending.

Having operated very successfully in the bridging market for a number of years UTB entered the second charge market in the early part of 2015. UTB do not reduce LTV’s on certain property types e.g. ex local authority flats. The fact that they don’t credit score is also a plus point.

If the customers make a payment of a greater amount than the amount due on their monthly repayment, or if they make a payment in advance of their monthly repayment date (each an overpayment) at any time, the overpayment will be applied to their account firstly in settlement of any arrears and then default charges and then we will treat the remaining overpayment as follows:
If their overpayment is more than one contractual monthly repayment, we will give them the option within 7 days of either being reimbursed the overpayment or applying the amount to the outstanding balance and either reducing the term of the agreement or adjusting their monthly payment accordingly (at their option, to be exercised within 7 days of our giving them notice).
