M2000 tracker lowest in market
Mortgage 2000, the intermediary mortgage sourcing system, is offering what is possibly the lowest stepped base rate tracker mortgage ever.
Funded by Bristol & West, it has an initial rate of 0.7% until 31/12/2002. This is followed by rates of 4.9% and 5.6%, until 31/12/2003 and 31/12/2005 respectively. Redemption penalties on the loan are 5% of the outstanding loan plus £100 before 31/12/2003, 4% plus £100 for the next two years and 3% plus £100 the following year. The product is available at an LTV of up to 95%, and carries an arrangement fee of £345.
Commenting on the deal, Sean Hornsby, director of Mortgage 2000, said: ‘This product will sell well to first time buyers needing large loans, where there is a need to keep payments low in the first year. It has an incredibly low initial pay rate without a massive sting in the tail. In particular, with the way capital and interest loans are structured, this product means a higher proportion of capital is repaid early on. And who knows, the rate could fall even lower if there are further base rate cuts.’
Procuration fees available with this mortgage are 0.35%, with a minimum of £150.
