N&P offers 85 per cent LTV

It has launched an 85% LTV variable rate mortgage and has also lowered its five year fixed rate mortgage rate.

The society has increased its LTV on a selection of fixed rate mortgage products from 80% to 85%, and on a selection of its discounted variable rates from 75% to 80%.

In addition, its five year 6.59% fixed rate mortgage has also reduced to 5.89%, and its five year 6.69% fixed rate mortgage (with free valuation, £200 cashback for purchases, free legal fees for remortgages) has reduced to 5.99%.

Richard Barker, N&P’s product manager for mortgages, said: “We have witnessed a general trend of rising LTVs across the market over the last few months. The new higher LTVs will provide a welcome boost for many customers who have struggled to raise a sufficient deposit to purchase or re-mortgage in the current environment.”
