Trustguard unveils fixes

The range, which is exclusive to Trustguard and is being launched in partnership with Kensington, is timed to coincide with recent Bank Base Rate (BBR) rises.

The two- and three-year fixed rate mortgages offer no Early Repayment Charges overhang, up to 90% loan-to-value (LTV), and allow for adverse history.

The three-year fix has a rate of 5.55% up to 65% LTV and 6.10% up to 90% LTV. The two-year deal is fixed at 5.89% up to 65% LTV and 6.25% up to 90% LTV. The range is available as self-certification, right-to-buy, or buy-to-let (with loadings).

The range allows for up to £1,000 of satisfied or unsatisfied CCJs, rent or loan arrears of up to 1 month in the last 12, and defaults are ignored.

There is a £1,995 completion fee that can be added to the loan above the maximum LTV.

Sian Brown, Trustguard's national sales manager, said: “Successive rises in the BBR have meant that there is an ever increasing number of borrowers looking to either lock into a competitive rate or switch from a tracker to a low fixed-rate mortgage. This product has been purposely designed with them in mind and we are expecting a lot of interest from intermediaries.”
