Anita Arch, Saffron’s head of mortgage sales, said: “It’s not just our mortgages that set us apart. Our aim to provide unrivalled support along the way is just as important as providing helpful products.
“We have a team of specialist underwriters who have detailed knowledge of self-build projects and will apply this to each application which will be manually checked.
“They will take time to review the details and attempt to do all they can to provide the funds your customers need for their new home.”
