Dame Debbie Crosbie, Nationwide CEO, responds to Mansion House Speech

16 July 2025

Dame Debbie Crosbie, Nationwide CEO, said:

“The Chancellor has set out an extensive package of pro-growth reforms that will be well received across UK financial services.

“This includes welcome news for the housing market, with the Chancellor confirming plans for greater flexibility in higher loan to income lending. At Nationwide, first-time buyers will be subject to reduced minimum income requirements from today [Wednesday 16 July], giving consumers an immediate and tangible benefit from the reforms.

“Overall, the package has real substance and clear, positive intent. We will continue to work closely with Government as it takes steps to promote inclusive growth across the UK.”
