The Post Office is cutting its mortgage rates by up to 1.01 per cent on a range of its fixed rate and tracker mortgages, expanding its offering to those with larger deposits, whilst maintaining a range for first time buyers. Products are available immediately.
The largest cut is to its five year fixed rate deal at 75 per cent LTV – a reduction of 1.01 per cent from 4.39 per cent to 3.38 per cent, making it best in market with a £995 fee. New 65 per cent LTV two and three year fixed rates with £995 fees also top the Best Buy tables. These three products are the lowest fixed rates ever offered by the Post Office.
Post Office has expanded its range of fee-assisted products to help reduce the upfront costs involved with buying a property or switching an existing mortgage. Many deals have no arrangement or booking fees, offer £300 cashback, and can include free standard legal work and a standard valuation.
Mike Cook, head of Post Office Mortgages said: “We’re really pleased to be able to expand our range and offer some very low rates across our fixed rate and tracker mortgages for those with varying deposits. The Post Office mortgage book has grown significantly since launch and we’re now looking to expand our business to a wider range of customers.
“Our new mortgage range offers several Best Buy rates, and with a new selection of fee-assisted products we are able to help people avoid the up-front costs that can be so restrictive when looking to re-mortgage or move home. Some have no arrangement, standard valuation or standard legal fees, or include £300 cashback.”
