Abbey makes changes to mortgage range

Changes to Abbey’s mortgage range

Highlights include:

- New best-buy 5 year capped rate - 4.99%

Gary Hockey-Morley, Abbey’s Director of Mortgages, said, “Our new five year capped rate mortgage offers borrowers longer-term security and a best-buy rate. Borrowers on this deal will never pay more than 4.99%, which means that their monthly payments will start low and stay low.”
