Positions change without notice — sometimes overnight. A lender's status can change at any time, including after you have applied or completed (for example, if the lender's ownership changes). This page covers buy‑to‑let term lending only — the same lender's position may be different for bridging, commercial or any other product. Always confirm the current position with the Beis Horoah before proceeding.
