Shawbrook Bank’s commercial mortgages division has split its heavy refurbishment product (STL6) into three separate products and enhanced pricing.

Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director, commercial mortgages, Shawbrook Bank, said: “Shawbrook’s STL product range has been very well received by the market, and we’ve listened to our brokers, clients and teams to understand how we can refine it even further.

“By separating out the existing STL6 product, we are able to offer brokers more clarity on the product type and a favourable reduction in pricing.

“These changes reflect our appetite to lend on heavy refurbishment projects, as well as our ongoing dedication to improving our product line for our broker partners and their customers.”
