Martin Richardson, general manager, marketing and business development, said: "We know that many borrowers like the ability to budget through fixed monthly payments.

"We are also providing fees assisted options so customers have help with upfront costs, and can lock in at a rate that delivers certainty of payments thereby providing excellent peace of mind.

"Furthermore, all the products are fully portable so if customers do wish to move during the term they can take the mortgage with them."
