Chelsea Building Society has cut rates on its 85% loan to value (LTV) mortgages.

Rates at 85% LTV now start from 3.24% after the Society made reductions of up to 0.25 percentage points.

It has also introduced a new 65% LTV, two-year mortgage at 1.84%. It carries a £745 product fee but offers £500 cashback for purchasers or free valuation and legal assistance for remortgage customers.

The 85% LTV range includes:

  • 3.24% two-year mortgage with £1,545 fee, available for purchase or remortgage
  • 3.59% two-year mortgage with £745 fee and £500 cashback for purchase customers, or free valuation and legal assistance for remortgage customers
  • 3.69% three-year mortgage with £1,545 fee, available for purchase or remortgage
  • 3.94% three-year mortgage with £745 fee and £500 cashback for purchase customers, or free valuation and legal assistance for remortgage customers
  • 3.84% five-year mortgage with £1,545 fee, available for purchase or remortgage

Offset equivalents are available for all of the mortgages, priced 20bps higher than their non-offset equivalents.

Maximum loan sizes are £1m on 85% LTV products and £5m for the 65% LTV product.

Brendan Gilligan, Chelsea Building Society product manager, said: “We strive to offer our members the most competitive mortgages possible and this range of 85% LTV products will again be among the best available.

“We look to support borrowers with smaller or larger deposits or sums of equity, and by reducing our rates at the 85% LTV level as well as offering an additional competitive 65% LTV mortgage we are achieving that.”
