Peter Beaumont, deputy chief executive at The Mortgage Lender (pictured above), said: “The changes to our buy-to-let products are in response to current market conditions.

“We have made significant progress towards implementing remote valuations and intend, in the next few weeks, to have an end-to-end remote app to offer to completion process in place that will provide our broker partners and their clients with a way of keeping things moving while the government’s social distancing requirements, affecting property valuations, remain in place.”
