Heather Greig-SmithYorkshire Building Society has launched three two-year mortgages designed to give first-time buyers a foot on the property ladder.
The high loan-to-value (LTV) homeloans are available exclusively to would-be homeowners with 5%, 10% and 15% deposits.
The two-year fixed rate range includes a 1.99% deal at 85% of the property’s value, 2.39% at 90% LTV and 3.89% for those with just 5% upfront.
All the mortgages have a £495 fee, and include free standard valuation plus £500 cashback on completion.
Charles Mungroo, mortgage manager at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “We’re committed to helping people achieve their homeownership ambitions, and we hope these mortgages tailored to those with smaller deposits will really appeal to aspiring homeowners.
