Pink launches tracker

The semi-exclusive product tracks the Bank Base Rate (BBR) at 0.25 per cent for three years, with a current rate of 5.25 per cent.

Features include a refund of valuation (max £490) and £250 towards the cost of legal fees.

David Copland, sales and marketing director at Pink Home Loans, commented: “Near prime products are hugely popular in today’s market for clients with a less than perfect credit history who have taken steps to rectify the situation. Gone are the days where individuals have to pay for the adverse credit that they do not have.”

Iain Williamson, head of key accounts at BM Solutions, said: “This is an excellent product for clients who may have had problems with their credit in the past and are looking to remortgage onto a fantastic near prime rate.”

This product is available to all Pink’s customers and must be submitted online direct to the lender.
