Accord Mortgages launch discounted SVR mortgage products (Source: mortgagefinancegazette.com)
Intermediary accessible only lender Accord Mortgages have today announced that they are offering new discounted SVR mortgage products (Standard Variable Rate) across buy-to-let and residential mortgages. The lender, which is owned by Yorkshire Building Society, only offers mortgage through intermediaries such as mortgage brokers meaning that a home buyer would not be able to access an accord mortgage on their own. They are known for their ‘common sense’ approach to lending and are often a favourite among mortgage advisors because of their leniency on applications that might otherwise struggle with another lender.
Today they have announced a new range of two-year discounted standard variable rate mortgages for buy-to-let and residential clients. Accord says that rates for buy-to-let buyers and remortgages will start at 2.15% at 60% loan to value i.e. 40% deposit, based on a discount of 2.84% on the firm’s standard variable rate (currently at 4.99%), for a two-year term.
They have also said that they will offer these discounted rate products to brokers for residential buyers and remortgages, with variable rates starting at 2.14%. It says highlights available to residential clients include a fee-free discounted variable rate of 2.21% at 75% LTV. A discounted variable rate of 2.34% at 85% LTV, with a £495 fee and £500 cashback. These rates will begin on the 29th of June. Both products will come with a free standard valuation incentive and will include cashback and remortgage legal service options.
Mortgage manager at Accord Simon Garner has commented: “We’re pleased to re-introduce our discounted standard variable rate mortgages, now with additional incentives, to give brokers more choice when advising both residential and landlord clients. These products provide a lower initial rate than our equivalent fixed rate products and with the additional features, could provide great value options for brokers and their clients.”
