The Cambridge Building Society
The Cambridge BS has added Help to Buy mortgages to its product range that will be available to existing Help to Buy homeowners looking to remortgage, as well as first-time buyers.

The products have application fees at £199 and no completion fees.

“With the latest reports suggesting that over 150,000 households have already been helped by the scheme, there will be a growing remortgage market developing over the new few years.”
