Leeds Building Society launches new sub 5% mortgage

02-Nov-2006

Leeds Building Society has launched a new mortgage below five per cent that may be suitable for first time buyers.

Available with a loan-to-value (LTV) up to 95 per cent, Leeds Building Society's new two-year discounted mortgage is currently available at an interest rate of 4.99 per cent and free of any higher lending fees up to a 90 per cent LTV that may benefit first time buyers.

Leeds Building Society's discounted mortgage option offers a 1.75 per cent interest rate discount, although a completion fee is applicable for loan applications up to £500,000.

"With market rates on the increase, a mortgage at only 4.99 per cent offers outstanding value," said Karen Wint, head of marketing and public relations at Leeds Building Society.

A fee-free version is also available with a 1.25 per cent interest rate discount for two years, with an initial interest rate of 5.49 per cent.

Leeds Building Society also offers a range of online mortgage products, with interest rates ranging from 4.75 per cent to 7.04 per cent.

As the market for first time buyers toughens, new companies are offering new services to help first time buyers buy new properties by working with the house-builders.
