Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director of commercial mortgages at Shawbrook Bank, said:
“Many businesses would see releasing SLA data on a monthly business as a high-risk approach, but we take a different view. Efficient processing across the offering is critical in today’s fast moving property market, so we believe it’s right to be open with brokers about our standards.
“We know our brokers appreciate this demonstrable commitment to transparency, and 11 months after we released our first set of SLA figures, we remain hopeful that Shawbrook’s openness will help set the standard for transparency in the industry. It remains to be seen whether other lenders will follow suit.”
