Accessibility

This is the official accessibility statement for Astra Mortgages, and details some of the features we have included to make our site more accessible to visitors with disabilities. It also contains instructions on steps you can take to alter your web browser setup if you would benefit from alternative settings.

The decisions we have made during the development of this site were based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Although there are no formal legal guidelines for developing accessible websites, we feel that the WCAG represents current best practice.

If you have experienced any difficulties in using this website, or would like to suggest a change that would benefit you, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch by email or by calling 0845 127 2728
