Newcastle launches five-year fix

The product is available with an LTV of up to 80% and comes with free legal fees for remortgages in England and Wales or a cashback alternative for house purchase customers or remortgages in Scotland. There is also a free standard valuation for properties up to £500k.

It is available on a semi-exclusive basis via Openwork, Legal & General, Your Move, Intrinsic, Positive Solutions and Brilliant Solutions.

Steven Marks, intermediary services executive, at Newcastle Building Society, said: “We continuously endeavour to offer the broker market products we have developed with their customer’s needs in mind.

“With industry insiders regularly talking about a rise in interest rates being on the horizon the launch of this five-year mortgage product is predicted to prove popular for borrowers who want to take advantage of the opportunity to fix a low rate now.”
