Mehrdad Yousefi, head of intermediary mortgages at A&L said: “We’ve pulled out all the stops with this latest product range. Yet again, we’ve been able to re-price our two and five-year fixed rates downwards and offer cracking, rock bottom rates with no extended tie-ins. All this year we’ve been consistently competitive with our fixed rates staying one step ahead of the competition and we’re delighted to offer all these deals to our broker customers.

“We’re also introducing a special two-year fixed remortgage deal only available to brokers. This product offers a highly competitive rate with incentives such as free valuation plus free legals or cashback.

“There’s even more good news on the product front, as we’ve also designed a new three-year fixed rate deal. This is a brand new deal and has been designed as a direct result of broker feedback and demand.”
