Leeds Building Society adds two 95 per cent LTV deals
Leeds Building Society has added two high LTV deals with two-year fixed terms, with fee-free and fee-paying options.
The two-year fixed rate at 95 per cent LTV with no fee is 5.57 per cent and its two-year fixed rate with a £999 completion fee is 5.37 per cent.
They are available for purchase only and come with a free standard valuation.
Jonathan Thompson, senior mortgage manager at Leeds Building Society, said it “consistently” saw strong demand for higher LTV deals and this transitional product was “probably the first type of mortgage many potential first-time buyers might consider”.
He continued: “After helping 18,000 first-time buyers last year, we remain focused on supporting this group to deliver on our purpose of putting home ownership within reach for more people.
“In the current rising rate environment, fixed rate mortgages remain popular across all LTVs. For that reason, the society also has introduced a new lower LTV two-year fix – at 4.62 per cent up to 65 per cent LTV, with no completion fee – for home purchase or remortgage.”
