Coventry BS expands range with offset and interest-only options

Coventry Building Society has broadened its product range with additional offset and interest-only options.

Two and five-year fixed rates are available for new and existing customers, with existing offset and interest-only products also being cut.

The lender’s two-year offset fixed rate at 65 per cent LTV with £999 fee is priced at 4.51 per cent.

Coventry will also offer a two-year fixed interest-only rate at 50 per cent LTV at 4.66 per cent.

Both are available for purchase and remortgage with a choice of £350 cashback or remortgage transfer service for remortgage applications.

Jonathan Stinton, head of intermediary relationships at Coventry Building Society, said: “We want to make sure brokers have access to the wide range of products they need.

“Offset has become increasingly popular, and we have seen strong demand from brokers to enhance the range and choice available. Education in this offering is so important and there are lots of resources available on our website to support this often misunderstood product.

“Offset and interest-only products can be great options for borrowers to consider, and brokers can make all the difference in guiding their clients through the features of these rates.”
