Bristol & West woos first-time buyers

Bristol & West has launched two new mortgages priced to cater for first-time buyers. The loans, fixed for either two or seven years, offer a range of extras to make life easier for those buying their first home.

The seven-year fixed rate product is offered at 4.99%, with early redemption penalties set at 7% to 30/09/05, 6% to 30/09/06, 5% to 30/09/09 then 4% to 30/09/10. The mortgage also benefits from £300 cash back and no valuation fee or MIG.

Mike Henry, head of mortgages at Bristol & West, said: “First-time buyers are finding it extremely difficult to get a foothold in the housing market and mortgages that offer a good all-round package can play an important part in helping them start out.

We believe that the UK is now at bottom of the interest rate cycle and that rates will rise over the next two years by around 2%. The forty-year low we are now experiencing makes this a great time to fix your mortgage rate.”

The mortgage attracts an arrangement fee of £299 and the broker’s procuration fee is negotiable.

Genesis’ new star

In order to streamline the number of mortgage schemes it has available, branded lender Genesis Home Loans has re-designed its Planets & Moons (non-conforming) and Constellations (conforming) product ranges.

Planets & Moons has been reduced to a total of 11 products covering full status, self-certification, and purchase and re-mortgage, along with schemes for right to buy and buy to let. All of the products allow for varying amounts of adverse credit including defaults, which are now ignored whether satisfied or not.

New additions to the range are five, two-year fixed products, with rates from 5.35% fixed until 1 January 2006, catering for adverse credit problems. Mortgage facilities can be taken on a full status, with rates from 3.87%, self-certification, starting from 5.62%, or fast track basis – the latter being a ‘no hassle, no reference’ option.

The Constellations range consists of four conforming products, with tracker, discount and fixed rate options – full status rates begin from 4.00% (BBR+ 0.5%) and self-cert rates from 4.29%.

Nigel Gardner, business development director at Genesis Home Loans, said: “These new ranges will be easier for intermediaries to use, while new rates and products will ensure they have highly competitive rates to offer clients irrespective of the conforming or non-conforming market sectors.”
