Marking the ten years of buy to let, Mortgage
Express, a founder member of the ARLA panel of mortgage lenders for
the initial launch of the whole Buy to Let concept, has rejoined the
panel. This now consists of Birmingham Midshires, GMAC Residential
Funding, Mortgage Express, NatWest, Paragon Mortgages and The
Mortgage Business.
ARLA, together with its supporting panel of
forward-looking mortgage lenders, first introduced the concept of
Buy to Let to the private rental market and to the nation in 1996,
ten years ago this coming autumn.
Ten years on, the ARLA panel is still responsible
for well over 50% of all outstanding buy to let loans in the most
dynamic sector of the housing market.
Welcoming the return of Mortgage Express, Adrian
Turner, Chief Executive of ARLA, said, "It is very fitting that
Mortgage Express should be a part of the panel representing the most
focussed group of Buy to Let lenders involved in the private rented
sector."
