Skipton launches Base Rate tracker mortgage

Jennifer Holloway, head of media relations at Skipton Building Society, commented, "The Base Rate Tracker Extra really is a win-win product for any borrower. They win when they take out the loan as there are no fees and £150 cashback; they win if - as many market commentators predict - the base rate moves downwards, through lower monthly payments; and they win should they wish to repay the loan, as there are no early repayment charges or penalties. We believe the simplicity of this mortgage is what will make it so attractive to borrowers."
