Accord reduces rates

Accord Product Manager Martin McIntosh said: “While some lenders have focussed on making their rates more competitive for lower LTV mortgages, we have made these changes to products across the range."

Accord, the intermediary lending subsidiary of Yorkshire Building Society, has also introduced two fixed rate mortgages to its range.

• An 85% LTV mortgage fixed for two years at 4.59%, available for house purchase and remortgage.

• A 90% LTV mortgage fixed for two years at 5.19%, with incentives, for house purchase only.

All Accord Mortgages’ products are portable.
