Our market leading rates will provide first time buyers, homeowners on their lender’s SVR and those whose deal is coming to an end, with not just a potential great saving, but piece of mind for the future.”

Jeremy Duncombe, Director, Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “Following the UK’s decision to leave the EU, we’re pleased to see that the mortgage market remains buoyant, with Metro Bank’s announcement a clear reflection of a sector that’s open for business.

“The challenger bank continues to drive their proposition with competitive pricing, a robust manual underwriting process and a desire to build long-term customer relationship and we look forward to seeing more customer-focused products and services from the lender in the months to come.”

This announcement follows the Metro Bank’s recent HY1/ Q2 announcement, showing total lending has reached £4.6bn – reflecting a quarterly growth of over £500 million and a year-on-year increase of 110%.
