Bank of Scotland
Bank of Scotland merged with Halifax to create a huge company (HBOS plc) and an impressively diverse range of mortgages. In turn, HBOS was bought by Lloyds TSB in September 2008, creating the UK's largest overall mortgage lender.
The Halifax and Bank Of Scotland brands are now closely integrated, but Bank Of Scotland does still have its own separate mortgage deals – they're only offered via professional mortgage advisers.

Bank Of Scotland Remortgage Options
