The five-year fixed rate deal offers a competitive rate of 5.72 per cent and helps to ease the initial financial burden by providing a free valuation and no fees for arrangements or booking.

"With first time buyers driving the market forward it is crucial to help people onto the property ladder so this product was designed exactly with that in mind," explained Chris Burton, product manager for Mortgage 2000.

Responding to the launch of the product, Jeff Kirk, corporate relationship manager for Leeds Building Society, said that he believed the deal would be a success and that helping aspiring homeowners was vital to the future of the property market.
