The product offers an attractive initial pay rate of 4.49 per cent, a free valuation on all applications and free legal fees for individuals wishing to remortgage. The 4.49 per cent rate has an arrangement fee of £595, which is added to the loan on completion. The product allows the client to repay up to 25 per cent of the debt without charge and has no early redemption penalty overhang.

This deal is available for applications with a maximum loan to value of 75 per cent.

David Copland, marketing director at Pink Home Loans, commented: “This is an excellent option for individuals wishing to remortgage, as it offers an attractive rate, no upfront fees, no extended tie and the option of reducing the balance within three years without penalty."

Richard Carson, general manager, business development at Mutual One, commented: "Mutual One Mortgage Originations is an initiative designed to help building societies distribute mortgage products through major distributors such as Pink Home Loans. Barnsley Building Society was one of the first societies to successfully utilise the scheme and I'm delighted that the society has chosen this route to market again, providing this extremely attractive product."
