"After the end of the Help to Buy scheme last year, the mortgage industry has had to find new ways to support first-time buyers and help them onto the property ladder."
Legal & General Mortgage Club is offering its adviser members access to an exclusive residential product with Leek Building Society.
The two-year fixed-rate product is available at 95% LTV and priced at 5.99%. Additionally, an early repayment charge of 2% applies in year one and a 1% charge in year two.
The minimum residential loan size stands at £150,000, extending to loans of up to £500,000. The product includes a free valuation and has no completion fee.
Danny Belton, head of lender relationships at Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “After the end of the Help to Buy scheme last year, the mortgage industry has had to find new ways to support first-time buyers and help them onto the property ladder. This competitively priced new product exclusive with Leek Building Society, offers first-time buyers the valuable opportunity to purchase a new-build property, a house, or a flat of their choice, with just a 5% deposit. This will allow advisers to help more new buyers make that important first step.”
Nikki Warren-Dean, head of intermediaries at Leek Building Society, said: “This is a fantastic, good news story to help customers get onto the housing ladder and what a great time to introduce this new 95% LTV initiative. Please speak to our BDMs to get more information but be mindful that these products have a restricted tranche size and may be withdrawn at short notice.”
