Top 10 most read mortgage broker stories this week – 02/07/2021
With the first stage of the stamp duty holiday drawing to a close this week, stories around the tax break held reader interest such as the Marketwatch discussion and the news of how house price rises invalidated the savings made.
Product changes also dominated, including Santander’s update to its proof of deposit criteria and TSB’s removal of higher fee remortgages. The Bank of Ireland’s decision to cull its mortgage sales team was also among most read this week.
