Virgin Money

Important stuff just for mortgage brokers

Great reasons to use Clydesdale Bank

We understand every client has different needs. That’s why we’re proud to deliver intermediary solutions as individual as your clients. 

Your clients come to you because you’ll find a mortgage solution that fits their needs, not a lender’s. Brokers come to us because we understand this and we’re able to adopt a flexible approach and assess cases on their individual merits. 

Our team will work with you to understand your client and what we may be able to do for them, helping you to find solutions.

Here’s some of our key product and policy highlights.

Non-standard income — we’ll discuss non-standard income streams and more complex income structures to see if we can find a way to assist your clients.
Buy-to-let — we are proud to be different when it comes to assessing your client’s BTL mortgage, and that means making an overall affordability assessment. We can lend to first-time landlords, non-owner occupiers and first-time buyers.
Large loans — you get direct access to underwriters for £500k+ loans. 
Interest only — we lend up to 75% LTV with a range of acceptable repayment vehicles. Capital & Interest top up to 85% LTV available.
Self-employed — we’ll use the customer’s share of post-tax profit plus director’s remuneration. 
Professionals — our mortgages for professionals are available where one or more of the applicants are employed in an accepted occupation, with loans available up to £1m up to 90% LTV.
Contractors — we can accept applicants with a one-year contracting history for mortgages up to 95% LTV or under one-year to 70% LTV.
Foreign nationals — up to 95% LTV is one applicant has ILR, 90% if no ILR but one applicant earns £75k, 85% otherwise.
