As a separate bonus for customers looking for a residential mortgage, the bank has returned to its pre-COVID position of allowing capital raising for both further advances and remortgages at up to 90% LTV, which was temporarily limited to 80% LTV.

Charles Morley, director of mortgage distribution at Metro Bank, said: “We’re always eager to offer added value for our growing number of customers.

“These improvements to our range of new build residential mortgages, alongside increasing max LTVs for capital raising purposes, ensure that we’re providing greater value, flexibility and choice to both intermediaries and our customers.”
