“We recognise that there are many people out there who would maybe like to re-mortgage but are struggling to find suitable deals,” said Kris Brewster, Skipton’s head of products.
“Customers tell us that one of their greatest barriers to re-mortgaging is the fees normally associated with moving from one product or provider to another. That’s why, while we’ve kept the interest rates on our re-mortgage range the same, we’ve taken away the application and completion fee, which normally total around £1,000.
“This, combined with the free valuation and legal work, makes these products better value overall than many others out there.”
