Habito launches Habito One to external brokers

Habito has partnered with Legal & General Mortgage Club and the Stonebridge network to offer its Habito One mortgages to external brokers.

 

Habito One allows customers to fix their interest rate for the entirety of their mortgage, and offers customers protection against potential interest rate rises, as well as monthly repayments fixed and guaranteed for its 10 to 40-year terms, and the freedom to switch or move home.

The range includes deals with no early repayment charges (ERCs), meaning customers can make unlimited overpayments or leave their deal at any time.

Alongside this, Habito has expanded its One range to include lower-priced deals with ERCs and a new 10-year fixed-rate product.

Alan Fitzpatrick, VP of lending at Habito, said: “We’ve had an incredible response to Habito One from our customer base, with the product’s unrivaled certainty and protection appealing to a range of homeowners at different stages of life with varying circumstances.

"We’ve seen particular interest from traditionally underserved customers, for instance those who are self-employed, or nearing retirement.

"We’ve built brilliant relationships with our external broker partners through our buy-to-let lending products and are very excited to be able to offer Habito’s expanded and developed residential mortgage range to those partners, for the first time.”

Danny Belton, head of lender relationships at Legal & General Mortgage Club, added: “Habito is at the cutting edge of product innovation, creating new types of mortgage deals that are rooted in customer-centricity.

"Its Habito One range, specifically, will help many to gain certainty over their monthly repayments, helping them budget effectively for the future.

"We look forward to bringing these products to our community of advisers."
