Paul Cooper, Head of Mortgages at Alliance & Leicester commented: “Alliance & Leicester’s new discounted base rate tracker mortgage is different from the other offers available within our current mortgage range. It provides customers with a very attractive discounted rate, which is currently the lowest rate we offer, and is followed by a lifetime base rate tracker. The early repayment fee period is linked to the benefit the customer receives and reduces after the second year. With an attractive incentive package also available to all customers, we believe that this offer will be very attractive to those who wish to save money initially to fund purchases and other expenses related to their new home.”
