Virgin Money makes changes to their mortgage affordability lending criteria
In a significant development announced today, Virgin Money has adjusted its lending criteria, paving the way for potential homebuyers to secure larger mortgages and enjoy extended terms. As exclusive mortgage brokers and as part of the PRIMIS mortgage network, Oportfolio Mortgages personally received news of these lending criteria updates this morning, allowing many of our clients the opportunity to borrow larger loans where they otherwise might have struggled.
Virgin Money Makes Changes To Mortgage Term Lending Criteria
One of the key modifications introduced by Virgin Money today is the extension of the maximum term for all residential mortgages to an impressive 40 years. Although not the only lender offering 40-year terms on mortgages, this move from Virgin provides even more borrowers across the UK with increased flexibility in structuring their repayments, potentially reducing monthly obligations, and making homeownership more accessible.
Changes To Affordability Criteria
In addition to the extended term, Virgin Money has revamped its affordability assessment for residential mortgages fixed for a period of 5 years or longer. The adjustment aims to enhance the amount that can be lent to borrowers, ultimately expanding the pool of individuals who can qualify for a mortgage. This strategic move aligns with Virgin Money’s commitment to supporting more customers in achieving their homeownership goals.
According to the message received by Oportfolio from Virgin, the changes are expected to ensure that more customers secure the loans they need, tailored to their desired term. This update comes at a time when the housing market is experiencing increased demand, and affordability remains a crucial factor for potential homebuyers.
