Bluestone enhances complex credit criteria
Bluestone Mortgages has announced a series of criteria changes to provide further support to a growing number of complex credit customers.
"We’re making these criteria changes to allow more customers with complex credit achieve their dream of homeownership."
The lender will now accept applications from clients who have recently taken a payday loan, providing it has been cleared on completion. Previously Bluestone required that no new loans be taken out in the last 12 months.
These updates mean that Bluestone is now able to offer a solution to customers who have been misinformed about the ramifications of taking out a payday loan, or those who have had to take out a payday loan due to a recent life event.
These criteria changes will be available to all mortgage brokers.
Reece Beddall, sales and marketing director at Bluestone Mortgages, commented: “We’re making these criteria changes to allow more customers with complex credit achieve their dream of homeownership.
"At Bluestone we believe that previous financial difficulties should not exclude anyone from owning their dream home. Ultimately, these changes will provide our customers with greater choice and give them the helping hand they deserve.”
Last week, Bluestone appointed Chris Lamming as a key account manager for the Midlands.
