The society’s 3-year fixed rate at 90% LTV is now 5.49%, down from 5.89%, while its buy-to-let 2-year fixed rate to 75% LTV has reduced from 4.79% to 4.49%.
A raft of other products have been launched to complement the society’s existing mortgage range, which includes 2 and 3-year fixes at different LTVs; longer term fixes over seven and 10 years and a range of tracker and buy-to-let products (see details below).
Kris Brewster, Skipton’s head of products, said: “Once again, we’ve listened to feedback from our customers, and have made further tweaks to our range which we hope will ensure it serves their needs even better.
“What we have now is a competitive range of options to suit differing circumstances, from people who prefer to pay no upfront fees and have a slightly higher rate to the opposite end of that spectrum – as well as higher LTVs to help first time buyers and people struggling because their equity has reduced as a result of the current housing market stasis.”
