NatWest Becomes Rightmove’s Exclusive Mortgage Partner With Instant In‑Listing Decisions
The tie-up puts NatWest’s mortgage-in-principle tool inside Rightmove searches to fast-track affordability checks at the start of a home hunt.
Overview
- NatWest and Rightmove launched a three-year exclusive integration that delivers instant mortgage-in-principle decisions within property listings.
- Rightmove users who receive a positive decision can move directly into a full NatWest mortgage application through the platform.
- NatWest says the partnership supports its £10 billion lending pledge to first-time buyers in 2026.
- Rightmove is positioning the feature alongside its affordability tools to send agents more informed, qualified enquiries and speed up transactions.
- The rollout follows the Bank of England’s 5–4 vote to hold the base rate at 3.75% as lenders reprice fixed deals at three-year lows, with the FCA’s mortgage-rule review ongoing and more low-deposit options emerging.
