Borrowing more than £400,000? Platform has just launched a 4.84% five-year fixed rate mortgage
Platform for Intermediaries is currently offering the most competitively priced five-year fixed rates to borrowers looking for £400,000+ mortgages.
Platform's lowest fixed rate is 4.84%, and it is available for property purchases and remortgages. It is fixed until 29 February 2028, and applicants will need a 40% deposit to qualify.
After the fixed period, the mortgage reverts to the lender's current 5.87% standard variable rate, and it has a £1,999 arrangement fee.
Aaron Strutt, product director at Trinity Financial, says: “Platform has a section of five-year fixes available below 5% even if you need a mortgage of less than £400,000. The arrangement fees vary, but they start from £999.
"It was not long ago that five-year fixes were increasing in price, and there was little sign of the rate hikes slowing down. We are now starting to see fixed rates get cheaper, and Platfrom’s five-year fix is the first below 5% since Liz Truss was prime minister."
Platform is the broker lending arm of the Co-Operative Bank.
What happens if rates come down again?
If one of Trinity Financial's brokers submit your mortgage application and you lock into a five-year fix through a lender like Platform, if the rates come down again before your mortgage completes, we will do everything possible to secure you the most competitively priced deal.
Representative example: A capital and interest mortgage of £402,000 payable over 30 years, initially on a fixed rate basis until 29 February 2028 at 4.84% and then on the bank's standard variable rate currently 5.87% for the remaining 25 years, 4.84% would require 63 monthly repayments of £2,106.53 followed by 297 payments of £2,329.37. The total amount repayable would be £826,333.28 made up of the loan amount, plus interest (£426,639.64) and £1,999 (product fee), £80 (final repayment charge), £35 (completion fee). The overall cost for comparison is 5.6% APRC representative.
