The Norwich & Peterborough Building Society (N&P) has launched some of its lowest ever fixed rate deals, including a five year fix at 3.19% at 75% LTV.

N&P also has a three year fixed rate mortgage at 2.84%, again at 75% LTV.

“Our latest range of fixed rate mortgages is the most competitive the Society has ever offered,” said N&P product manager Richard Barker.

“We have cut rates and also increased the number of offset equivalent mortgages across the range as more and more borrowers are looking at this option to make their savings work harder when returns on investments have been falling.

“Many people will have used the Christmas break to review their finances and look ahead for ways to save money in 2013.

“Choosing a fixed rate mortgage gives you the security of knowing how much you will be paying out on what is usually your biggest monthly outgoing – this can help with budgeting longer term, particularly when the cost of living and utility bills continue to rise.”
