A new range of Alliance and Leicester mortgage products has just been announced with flexibility built in to suit different customer needs.
There are different fixed term periods available, fee or no fee mortgages and also a base rate tracker. Some excellent rates are available, with a maximum loan of 75 percent of the property value enabling the Alliance and Leicester to offer these rates. One of the most popular mortgage options is expected to be the 2 year fixed rate with a 5.99 percent interest rate.
One of the Alliance and Leicester tracker mortgages that customers will find interesting is currently quoting a rate of 5.89 percent for the first 2 years, this is base rate plus 0.89 percent. After 2 years the tracker works at base plus 1.49 percent.
Customers taking an Alliance and Leicester mortgage through a broker are going to find the process is much faster than it used to be thanks to the introduction of ifax.
This new system transforms faxes sent by brokers into emails that are therefore much easier to read and go straight to the relevant persons inbox rather than hanging around the office. An Alliance and Leicester spokeswoman supported the move and confirmed that the new ifax system would greatly increase processing speed and reduce errors.
The system can work for pretty much all the relevant documents so at each step of the way Alliance and Leicester mortgage customers will see a speedy turnround on their paperwork. The system will also be of great benefit to the intermediaries too of course.
The Abbey National Intermediaries Division has just announced that it will be offering some exclusive mortgage deals for a number of selected partners.
The offers being provided by Abbey National vary from a low of 5.76 percent up to 5.81 percent, with at least a 50 percent deposit being needed for all the special mortgage deals available. A spokesman said that more offers like this would be released over time, dependent on the situation in the mortgage market at the time.
The Abbey National spokesman went on to say that this was a clear indication to the intermediary market that they are happy to lend money still and support for this important element of the mortgage market is very important to them.
