Northern Rocks extends portfolio availability

This special arrangement allows applications to be submitted for all of the current range until midnight on 9 June.

Included in the mortgages is a two-year flexible fixed product, with a rate of 4.79 per cent for loans up to 75 per cent LTV, with a product fee of £695. A 4.99 per cent is also available up to 75 per cent LTV for those requiring a product fee saver option. Both these mortgages carry £1,000 Help With Costs and Rapid Remortgage choices.

John Watson, operational director for Northern Rock, said: "At a time of great volatility for mortgage pricing, Northern Rock is bringing a element of certainty for its broker networks by making the excellent mortgage portfolio announced on 23 May available for an extended period. Backed up by Northern Rock's strong sales and service offerings, this truly provides a "World Cup Special" for our intermediaries!"
