John Willcock, Head of Post Office Mortgages, said: “These mortgage rates are among the best and most competitive deals available in the market. Our commitment to our customers is fundamental to us and this is reflected in the service and rates we are able to offer which appeal to all types of borrowers, whether they are a first time buyer with a small deposit, a mover or a remortgage customer with more equity, we have fantastic deals suited to them.
“The huge reduction we have made to the rate on our two year fixed rate (4.35% from 5.59%), requiring just a 10 per cent deposit, is very first time buyer-friendly and will provide a helping hand for those looking to step on the property ladder. For those with a bigger deposit and looking to fix for a longer period, a five year fixed rate mortgage well under three per cent also provides great value. We constantly review our mortgage range to ensure our customers always receive the best possible value along with great service.”
