Accord boosts mortgage choice
The latest lender to boost its mortgage range is Accord, which has cut rates on a number of its products.
For borrowers with a 10% deposit, Accord has reduced rates by up to 0.3% for those looking to fix for five years. Two-year products have been reduced by 0.25%.
Accord, part of the Yorkshire Building Society group, offers its products exclusively through mortgage brokers and financial advisers.
The lender has also reduced mortgage fees from £845 to £345 on both its three- and five-year products up to 80% loan-to-value. A three-year 65% LTV fix has also seen fees cut by a similar amount.
Elsewhere in the range, Accord’s three-year 85% LTV products will be reduced by up to 0.1%.
However, it is not all good news for borrowers with Accord increasing rates on a number of other products. These increased rates are across its five-year product range.
