Pink launches exclusive two-year fixed product

The self-cert product offers a fixed rate of 4.95% fixed until 01/03/2008 up to 85% loan to value, with 0.25% cashback and no Early Repayment Charge overhang or Higher Lending Charge.

Nic Ekin, lender relationship manager at Pink, said; “This exclusive self-cert rate of 4.95% fixed until 01/03/2008 is fantastic and has a 0.25% cashback, which will benefit clients who are either purchasing or remortgaging a property”.

Ian Harris, director at Harris Begley Ltd, comments; “This market leading deal will be ideal for customers who require an attractive rate but want the added benefit of a cashback. I have always found the application process to be smooth when dealing with Pink. There is a Platform underwriter based at their offices and this gives me peace of mind, as I always want my clients to receive the best service available”.

Paul Hunt, head of marketing at Platform, said; “We are delighted to offer such an attractive product via Pink giving borrowers not only a sub 5% rate but also a 0.25% cashback as well. Our experience shows that intermediaries prefer two year fixed rates more than anything else in the self-certification market at present and so we expect demand for this new product via Pink to be high.”
