The Skipton Building Society has reduced interest rates a number of its current residential three and five-year fixed rate mortgages.
In addition, all five-year fixed products will have a free standard valuation on purchases.
Interest rates are being lowered across the range, and there are two new three-year fixed products offering 4.36% and 4.75% at 90%, dependant on fees. There is also a fee-free three-year fix at 2.77% to 60% LTV.
These new products are available through the Society’s Skipton Direct customer service centre, branches and all intermediaries.
Kris Brewster, the Skipton’s head of products, said: “We are continually looking to offer competitive rates on our mortgage range and by reducing the rates on our three and five-year fixed products, with a variety of fee options, we believe they will be attractive to homebuyers and remortgage customers wanting the security of fixing their mortgage payments over a longer period of time. These are products which suit a number of different borrower requirements.
“We’re continuing to lend strongly, in line with our commitment to doing everything to help borrowers, and the ongoing popularity of our products is a reflection of that.”
