N.B. All of the above products will move onto the Skipton’s residential Mortgage Variable Rate (MVR) at the end of their term, which is currently set at 5.49%.
All other products remain available and unchanged, apart from the five-year fixed rate deal to 50% LTV, which is being removed.
Kris Brewster, the Society’s head of products, said: “With the interest rate landscape currently looking like it could remain exceptionally low for some time yet to come, we decided it is time to re-introduce tracker products to our range.
“We have seized the opportunity to introduce some new, competitively priced, tracker deals, to provide an additional element of choice for those customers preferring to take the risk of a potential rate rise, in return for a slightly lower rate up front.
“We’re also making significant reductions to some of our fixed rates, partly in response to competitor movements, and partly in reflection of our commitment to continuing to assist homeowners with strong lending both for the rest of this year and into 2013.”
