Miguel Sard, Head of Santander Mortgages, Santander said: “With the Bank of England maintaining the base rate at a low, people are starting to explore ways to make their money go further. Property is seen as a long-term investment and increasing numbers of customers are applying for buy to let mortgages.
For people looking to move or buy for the first time, they are still facing some high upfront costs. Which is why we’ve reduced our rates and maintained the zero booking fees on selected high LTV products, helping customers make their deposits go as far as possible. They are also aimed at those looking to remortgage, who are often put off switching, or even shopping around, by the perceived costs of changing providers. We want to support every customer secure the best mortgage to meet their needs.”
