These rate changes and introductions reflect our commitment to helping everyone find their place on the property ladder – whether they’re looking for flexibility with a three-year fixed rate or certainty and peace of mind with a competitive five-year rate.  

“We are thrilled to continue to act quickly and in the best interests of our customers and broker partners.”
