Steve Carruthers, head of mortgage distribution at Newcastle Intermediaries, said: “We’re starting the year as we mean to go on, by giving a real helping hand to first time buyers.

“Our product range is ideal for first time buyers looking to keep the costs of purchasing their first home down, and the choice of rates and fixes will help brokers find the right choice for their clients.

“We understand that buying a home, especially a first home, is an exciting but daunting time and we hope to be able to make the experience much easier and straightforward.”
