Skipton’s fixed to celebrate

The Special Edition 2-Year fixed rate mortgage comes with a competitive 3.99% rate, fixed until 31 July 2015 and is available up to 90% loan to value.

The product is fee free and in celebration of the Society’s 160th birthday people will receive £160 cashback after they’ve completed.

Kris Brewster, Skipton’s head of products, said: “We’ve launched this product not only to celebrate our heritage but to also reaffirm our continued commitment to enabling homeownership in line with our original mutual ethos.

“Skipton continues to punch above its weight in lending but we know there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to mortgages particularly in the current economic climate.

“So this special edition two-year fix at up to 90% LTV with no application or completion fees will be an attractive option for many. It complements our already broad offering, and provides even greater choice for our customers.

“Skipton Building Society is one of the country’s oldest mutuals. In 1853 our founders formed the Society to enable people to save money and buy a home and we’re proud that to this day this basic objective is as important now as it was 160 years ago.”
