Karen Wint, head of marketing and PR at Leeds BS, said: “These products offer excellent flexibility for customers who do not have any deposit, or would prefer to keep their savings to furnish their new home. We have also launched fees-free versions to help more clients benefit from a fixed rate.”

Tony Catt, sole broker, said: “It looks like quite a decent range. I like Leeds BS as a lender and as a service provider. The schemes are pretty decent too and I especially like that there are no HLCs and the £699 completion fee is in keeping with similar packages that are available in the mortgage market.”
