MPowered Mortgages has enhanced its AI technology-driven mortgage application platform Origo to reach the milestone of delivering a fully underwritten mortgage offer in 15 minutes. Research by the lender has suggested that the average application to offer time among UK lenders is approximately 17 days. However, with investment in advancing the Origo platform, it can now achieve 80% of offers within 24 hours and 20% within two hours. The application uses big data, language models and machine learning to assess data and customer documents in real time, reducing the back and forth between lenders and brokers. It has also been announced Nottingham Building Society has also been using the Origo platform.

Buy to Let by Foundation has introduced a new five-year fixed-rate buy-to-let (BTL) product to further extend its core BTL proposition.

It is available for portfolio and non-portfolio landlord borrowers at 5.74% at up to 75% LTV with a 1% fee, and also comes with a free valuation. The five-year fix follows the launch of a two-year fixed-rate option last week, which comes with a rate of 5.79% at up to 75% LTV and a 1% fee.
