Two-year fixed deals from Bristol & West

Bristol & West Mortgages has launched two two-year fixed rate mortgages.

The lender is marketing it as a way of reducing monthly mortgage payments before Christmas, while increasing a client’s sense of financial security for the next two years.

It is available at a rate of 3.95% with a £399 arrangement fee, or 4.29% with no arrangement fee, no valuation fee and free legal fees for remortgages via Bristol & West Mortgages’ solicitors.

Both products are fixed until 31/12/2004, and are available up to 95% LTV. Neither deal has an extended tie-in.

Redemption penalties in both cases are set at 5% to 31/12/2004 plus a £150 redemption administration a and deeds release fee.

Neena Kithoray, senior product manager for Bristol & West Mortgages, said: ‘With Christmas three weeks away we want to ensure we provide customers with opportunities to improve their financial situation.

‘We want to provide opportunities to improve their financial situation by reducing their mortgage payments. With speculation that the base rate is soon to rise, now is an excellent time for homeowners to take advantage of the low fixed rate mortgages on the market, not only saving them money but also ensuring they are protected if interest rates were to rise.’
