Nick Harrison, Head of Products at first direct, said: “We’re seeing increased demand among homebuyers at the moment, particularly among those looking for higher LTV fixed rates. At first direct we listen to what customers are saying, so in response we’re launching ‎a range of competitive rates at higher LTVs – and across different terms – at some of the lowest rates we’ve ever offered.”
