Furness BS cuts mortgage rates across the board
Furness Building Society has reduced mortgage rates across its residential, buy-to-let, holiday let and shared ownership ranges.
This includes a two-year fixed residential mortgage, priced at 4.55% up to 90% loan to value (LTV).
In its shared ownership range, rates start from 4.24%.
All products come with a £250 cashback and are available on properties in England, Scotland and Wales.
Jonathan Cartlidge, head of member and broker strategy at Furness Building Society, said: “We know how important it is for brokers to have options for clients who need a more personal approach. Whether it’s a first-time buyer using shared ownership, or someone with non-standard income, our underwriters take the time to understand the case.
“These new rates – across all our key product areas – are another way we’re making it easier for brokers to place those trickier cases.”
