David Robinson, National Intermediary Sales Manager at Accord, said: “Rates continue to remain low for borrowers and we’re helping to ensure those borrowers seeking to pay lower fees are also benefiting.
A lot of borrowers are attracted to a headline low rate but the size of their loan will determine which deal costs them the least overall, which is something their broker can help them with.
Our fixed rate mortgages – particularly the two year options - have been popular with borrowers looking for low-fee products and our new offerings also come with added features such as cashback on completion or free valuation, which can help to keep down costs even further.”
