More mortgage best buys from the Yorkshire

The Yorkshire Building Society group is maintaining its reputation for offering competitive mortgages with more than 1,600 Best Buy products in the first half of 2013.

The group - which includes Yorkshire, Chelsea and Norwich & Peterborough (N&P) building societies - offered a total of 1,657 Best Buy mortgages during the first six months of the year, including Chelsea's 1.64% two year fixed rate mortgage and the Yorkshire's 3.89% 10 year fixed rate mortgage.
 
The Yorkshire Building Society group topped the mortgage Best Buy tables in 2012 with a total of 2,399 Best Buy products.
 
"As the second-largest building society in the UK, we are very mindful of the fact that we were founded to enable people to buy their own homes," said Chris Smith, Yorkshire Building Society Group Direct Mortgages Manager.
 
"We are sticking to our principles as a mutual and focusing on long-term good value and encouraging members to manage their finances sustainably and plan for their future.
 
"Our range of products is among the widest in the market which - combined with the excellent customer service and the option to purchase in branch, on line or by telephone - means borrowers can choose the mortgage that is exactly right for their needs."
