We achieved £599m of organic origination at attractive margins during the first quarter, and enjoyed exceptionally strong levels of new mortgage applications, a trend that has continued into Q2. This further demonstrates the strength of our specialist capabilities, which line up directly with the continuing professionalisation of the Buy-to-Let market. We remain confident of achieving at least mid-teens net loan book growth in 2017".
