  • Overpayments of up to 10% per annum allowed without penalty;
  • Free legals and valuations for re-mortgages.

These new products are available through all intermediaries, the Society’s Skipton Direct customer service centre and branches.

“Market swap rates remain unusually low,” said Kris Brewster, Skipton’s head of products. “Therefore, we’ve seized the opportunity to provide these really competitive longer term deals, for people whose priority is having certainty over their monthly mortgage payments for the longer term.

“These kinds of rates on long term mortgage products would have been unheard of just a few years ago and therefore, we believe, they really do represent a golden window of opportunity for savvy borrowers.”
