Leeds BS announces rate reductions of up to 30bps

Published on

Leeds Building Society has announced reductions to selected fixed rate products.

Rates have been reduced by up to 30bps across selected two, three and five year fixed-rate mortgages.

The Society has also launched a new limited company buy-to-let product at 5.39% in support of brokers and intermediaries who are working with landlords operating within a limited company structure.

Jonathan Thompson, senior mortgage manager at Leeds Building Society, said: “The price of mortgages is dictated by a number of factors, and the expected reduction in base rate which was announced earlier this month is good news for first-time and existing borrowers, as rates continue to drop across the market. As such, we’re very pleased to be able to make some further reductions in support of new and existing borrowers.

“We are cautiously optimistic about the mortgage market and the changes made will give brokers, buyers and homeowners greater choice, and we continue to assess our range of products in support of new and existing members.”
