Newcastle Building Society has launched a new low-fee competitively rated mortgage product.
The new 3.43 per cent fixed-rate product is available up to a loan-to-value ratio of 80 per cent. The society says it’s ideal if a borrower is looking to re-mortgage their home.
It comes with a low reservation fee and no completion fee up to £500,000. The five-year term means you can secure your repayments against any potential future interest rate rises.
Steve Urwin, sales and marketing executive at the Newcastle, says:
“We’re finding in the market that fixed rated products, particularly five-year ones, are becoming even more popular as talk of an interest rate rise goes on.
“Our new product is good as it is a competitive rate but comes with low fees, which helps to keep the move costs down.”
