“The recent downward fluctuation in swap rates has enabled us to review our product range accordingly, and this latest launch is an example of how we are capitalising on the opportunity provided by such changes to offer even more competitive deals to our customers,” said Kris Brewster, Skipton’s head of products.
He added: “We now have an even stronger choice of product types, including fixes and trackers, over various terms and LTVs, to suit a range of circumstances. These include higher LTV options at up to 90%, which are designed to help people whose equity has been reduced by current market conditions.”
