Landmark reached by local bank

Friday 25 November 2022

Skipton has announced UK mortgage lending totalling £1 billion which includes lending across the Channel Islands too through Skipton International.

Managing Director, Jim Coupe, said this is a landmark milestone for the business.

“As an independent bank we are able to effect change at a fast pace, adapting to market situations and retaining the award-winning customer service we are known for. Our mortgage turnaround time from application to decision is exemplary and being a smaller bank means we are able to act nimbly. 

“Our UK Buy-To-Let mortgages for British expats and non-UK residents have seen strong growth and Skipton has continually refined its products to meet the needs of those looking to purchase or remortgage a UK rental property. There is still a strong pull for those customers who wish to invest in property across England, Scotland and Wales. 

“As we pass this milestone, I would like to pay tribute to all my Skipton colleagues, who consistently rise to the challenges and ensure our customers receive the excellent service they expect in our constantly changing world."
