Platform mortgages come with a free standard valuation for remortgagers and purchasers, plus free legals for remortgagers. Brokers can also choose from a range of products that include a £250 cashback.

Stuart Beattie, head of mortgages at Platform, said: “We believe that many of our new products rank amongst the lowest ever fixed rate deals we’ve offered via brokers.

“With rates at these levels, it’s understandable that borrowers would turn to brokers for help on whether it’s the right time for them to fix.”
