Accord unveils two-day 90% LTV mortgage offer for first-time buyers

Published on

Accord Mortgages is to offer another limited release of 90% LTV products for first-time buyers.

The two house purchase mortgages will be available from 9am on Monday, 21 September until 8pm on Tuesday, 22 September.

The products are as follows:

  • A five-year fixed rate at 3.59% at 90% LTV with £495 product fee and free valuation. Available for loans up to £500,000
  • A five-year fixed rate at 3.69% at 90% LTV with £495 product fee and free valuation. Available for loans between £500,001 and £600,000

At least one applicant must be a first-time buyer. Accord’s definition of a first-time buyer is someone who has never owned a property or held a mortgage before.

Jeremy Duncombe (pictured), Accord Mortgages’ director of intermediary distribution, said: “Enabling buyers to secure their first home is crucial to market growth during the pandemic and since March we’ve helped more than 4,000 young people take that first step on the property ladder.

“Thanks to our underwriting team working incredibly hard to process the applications and the support we’ve received from brokers submitting well-packaged cases and using our online portal for updates, we’ve been able to manage our capacity and return to this currently underserved market in record time.

“We received really positive broker feedback for the last launch and whilst we know a more sustained approach is the ideal, by offering these highly sought-after products for shorter periods, we are confident we can maintain service levels whilst supporting first-time buyers on a more regular basis.”
