B&W targets first-time buyers market
Bristol & West has launched a two-year discount mortgage. The product carries an initial rate of 3.79%, with a 2.16% discount of SVR until 30/9/2004.
The mortgage is aimed at the first-time buyer market, which the lender believes is finding the market increasingly difficult. This view is backed by Council of Mortgage Lenders research that first-time buyers have fallen by 10% in the last year and make up just 33% of the market. The product is available at up to 95% LTV.
Neena Kithoray, Bristol & West Mortgages’ senior product manager, said: ‘Bristol & West Mortgages recognises how difficult it is for many people to enter the housing market ‘ especially first-time buyers. As a responsible lender we needed to do all we could to help these people get onto the ladder. We believe this mortgage will not only help first-time buyers, but also people moving house or looking for a good remortgage product.’
The procuration fee is negotiable on this mortgage, and carries an arrangement fee of £299 and early redemption charges of 5% until 30/9/2004.
