These include fee-free 80 per cent LTVs with a two-year fix at 2.3 per cent and a three-year fix at 2.6 per cent. There is also a two-year fixed mortgage with a rate of two per cent. This product has a fee of £999.

Nikki Warren-Dean, head of intermediary sales, said: “We’ve been working very hard behind the scenes to be able to bring back 90 per cent LTV mortgages.
“Buying property is never easy, and that has undoubtedly become more challenging due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We were always looking to return to this space and to help people with smaller deposits, however, it was important to do so in a measured and responsible way.”
“We are delighted to be able to unveil products that could help make house moves or remortgages that in 2020 may have looked impossible, possible.”
