The lender is offering a pay rate of 1.89 per cent at 90 per cent LTV fee-free.
Moneyfacts has rated the 0.99 per cent deal as ‘outstanding’.
The money ratings and comparison website said: “Furness has made significant reductions to its discounted variable rates. Its two-year offering at 80 per cent loan to value has been reduced by 0.35 per cent giving a pay rate of 0.99 per cent. With the fee and incentive package unchanged and already a Moneyfacts ‘Best Buy’ this reduction further cements its position.”
The building society is also now offering an interest-only two-year product with a pay rate of 1.09 per cent, with a £1,699 fee, for cases up to 60 per cent LTV. The deal has no early repayment charges.
For clients with a holiday let, the new discounts start at 2.59 per cent for cases up to 65 per cent and 2.69 per cent for cases up to 75 per cent LTV with a £995 fee.
Alasdair McDonald, from Furness for Intermediaries, said: “Following the launch of our ERC (early repayment charge) free products last week, we’re delighted to give further options to our broker partners with this new range of discounted products.
“We’re especially confident the new holiday let rates offer real value for money and coupled with the flexibility in assessing affordability, our acceptance of Airbnb properties makes choosing Furness a pretty compelling proposition. We’ve got over 10 years’ experience as a holiday let lender and our professional and friendly team of underwriters will look at each case individually.”
