Yorkshire launches fixed rate mortgage at 3.19 per cent

Yorkshire Building Society is launching its lowest ever fixed rate mortgage at 3.19% along with a number of cuts across its range of fixed and tracker products of up to 0.60%.

Iain Cornish, Chief Executive at the Society said: "The Society is taking the opportunity to boost mortgage applications as there are beginning to be signs of an increase in activity in the housing market.  These new deals, along with the products we recently launched for first time buyers, will be warmly welcomed by those looking for a good deal in the New Year."

We are now offering some of the lowest rates across the market for customers with a 15% or 25% deposits and across a number of different product terms. Furthermore, all of our products carry a low fee at a time when many lenders are charging fees of around £1,000, and this could help to make a big difference to customers."

These mortgages are available online and from all our branches, where our fully qualified mortgage advisers can guide and support people buying a home through the house buying process."
