The Leeds reduces Welcome Mortgage rates

Published on

Leeds Building Society

The Leeds Building Society has cut the rates on its Welcome Mortgage range by up to 0.34 percentage points.

The range offers purchasers flexibility and certainty over a two, three or five-year term and the mutual added a £200 cashback incentive on its two, three and five-year fixed rate Welcome Mortgages.

The two-year fixed rate available up to 80% LTV has been reduced by 0.34 percentage points from 3.39% to 3.05%, with the two-year version up to 85% LTV being lowered from 4.07% to 3.74%.

The Leeds has cut the five-year fixed rates by 0.11 percentage points to 4.12% up to 80% LTV and by 0.22 percentage points to 4.23% up to 85% LTV.

There is no completion fee, a free standard valuation is available up to £335 and 10% capital repayments are allowed each year without penalty.

Martin Richardson, Leeds Building Society’s general manager – business development, said: “I am very pleased that we are able to reduce the rates on our two-year Welcome Mortgage, available up to 80% LTV, from 3.39% to 3.05% and from 4.07% to 3.74% up to 85% LTV. We have also lowered rates by up to 0.22% on the five-year products.

“These offers deliver certainty at an affordable rate and are excellent options for purchasers. Clients can choose a 0% interest rate period and pay capital only. This reduces their outgoings immediately. They then pay a fixed monthly payment for the remainder of the product period at a competitive and affordable rate, creating flexibility and certainty at the same time.

“Our offering had previously been enhanced further by adding £200 cashback to the range. The two, three and five-year products deliver certainty at an affordable rate and are excellent options for purchasers.”
