Accord Mortgages is increasing cashback on selected residential mortgage rates to £250.
The rate for the firm’s £5,000 Deposit Mortgage, which was launched in March and allows first-time buyers with just a £5,000 deposit to buy a property up to £500,000, will be lowered by up to 0.15% to 6.24% for a five-year deal.
Gemma Hyland, mortgage product manager for Accord, said: “We’re very pleased to be able to further reduce rates throughout our range, so that a variety of borrowers – including those looking to get onto the property ladder for the very first time – can benefit.
“As usual, we’ll continue to monitor market trends, reacting wherever we can to pass on added value to borrowers.”
Accord Mortgages last lowered rates last week, specifically lowering buy-to-let (BTL) deals by around 0.2%.
