Karen Wint, Head of Marketing & PR said, "These products are specifically designed to help first time buyers get onto the housing ladder. Customers do not need to find a deposit and both products are fixed, allowing customers to budget effectively, which is particularly important when buying a first home. Recent falls in interest rates make longer term fixes more attractive at the moment. The five year product gives first time buyers certainty of repayments for a long period with no up front fees and full portability when they move home.

We also offer shared ownership mortgage and, where income may be slightly sort, a guarantor mortgage. There are a number of options available to first time buyers and we believe these products will prove very popular."

These products are available through our branch network and intermediaries.
