Newcastle Building Society supports local first time buyers

Newcastle Building Society has made the cut by up to 0.20% on their North East exclusive range which includes a two year fixed rate and a five year fixed rate mortgage.

The 2 year fixed rate at 3.39% (5.7% APR) comes with free valuation, £500 cashback and 10% overpayments per annum. There is an early repayment charge of 2% until 31^st October 2019 and 1% until 31^st October 2020.

The 5 year fixed rate at 3.70% (5.3%APR) also comes with a free valuation, £500 cashback and 10% overpayments per annum.

Both mortgages are available with a max loan to value of 95%, meaning borrowers only need a 5% deposit to own their own home.

Steve Carruthers, head of mortgage distribution at Newcastle Building Society, said: “As the North East’s largest building society, we pride ourselves on helping local people onto the property ladder. Which is why we’re cutting rates on some of our North East exclusive 95% mortgages, helping local first time buyers own their own home.

“With house prices in the North East on average around £150,000*. With our 95% mortgage, borrowers only need a 5% deposit, which on this house price would be £7,500 making your house purchase achievable.”

The mortgages are effective in the following North East postcodes: NE, SR, DH, TD15, TD12, DL, TS, CA1– 11.
