Britannic targets first-time buyers
Britannic Money has launched a new mortgage targeted specifically at first-time buyers. The Flexible Start Mortgage offers a two-year stepped discount off the lender’s usual flexible start rate of 6.99%. The discount in the first year is 3% and 2% in the second, which gives an initial payable rate of 3.99%.
Borrowers can choose to overpay by up to 5% in each of the first four years without penalty, and then have the option to take full flexibility from this point onwards. Redemption charges are levied on the variable gross interest which is charged at lower of base rate plus 2% (currently 7.25%), or the flexible start rate (currently 6.99%) in first three years for overpayments in excess of 5% of the original loan in the first three years for full redemption, and then full redemption of the mortgage in years four and five. The loan is MIG free to 85% and there is a completion fee of £295.
Matt Smith, head of marketing at Britannic Money, said: ‘The obvious market for this is the first-time buyer. This mortgage is acknowledging that life does not stand still, so why have the pain of remortgaging in a few years when your circumstances have changed? Even if flexibility is not top of the list of priorities right now, it may be later on.’
