Full flexible features

Mehrdad Yousefi, head of intermediary mortgages at Alliance & Leicester, commented: “Despite volatility in swap rates we’ve been able to reduce some of our fixed rate mortgages. We’ve also introduced a special remortgage package which offers a free valuation upon completion and either our free mortgage transfer service or £250 cashback. This package will appeal to those who are looking for a competitive remortgage deal with minimal up-front costs. The remortgage market continues to be extremely competitive and it’s a great time for those nearing the end of their existing deal to shop around for an attractive rate with some money saving extras.”
