TSB is withdrawing all of its two-year fixed rate first-time buyer products and home purchase £995 fee products on a temporary basis.

In a note sent to brokers this morning, it says that all existing applications must be submitted by midnight on Monday 22 August.

It adds that a new product guide will be issued on 23 August.

Last Friday, 19 August, Dudley Building Society announced its own temporary withdrawal – this time of all mortgage products, citing “continuously high volume of mortgage applications.”

And at the start of the month, The Co-operative Bank announced the removal of a series of three- and five-year fixes from its roster on a temporary basis.
