As well as extra cashback, eligible borrowers will also have the support of a dedicated mortgage adviser to help make the process as simple and easy as possible.

Remortgage customers can also benefit from having their basic legal fees and standard valuation costs paid for by the bank.

Richard Washington, mortgages director at Halifax, said: “Buying your first property, moving home or remortgaging are significant milestones for many of us at different stages in life.

“Our latest cashback offer aims to help borrowers as they make what is often the biggest financial commitment of their lives.”
