Building Society Launches Record Low 0.89% Mortgage Rate

Britain’s lowest-ever mortgage rate has been launched, priced at 0.89% for two years. The new move by the Yorkshire Building Society suggests that competition in the home loans market may be intensifying. The previous lowest rate was 0.98%. The Yorkshire’s claim to be offering an “all-time low” rate was verified by the financial data provider Moneyfacts, but is not fixed. It is pegged to the society’s standard variable rate (SVR), offering a discount for two years, so it is not for homebuyers looking for the certainty of fixed monthly payments. The deal is also restricted to people needing to borrow no more than 65% of the value of their property and who are happy to pay a fee of £1,495. Read more on the Daily Express website.
