Secure Trust Bank cuts rates and launches £0 product fee range

Secure Trust Bank Mortgages has cut prices across 70 products and has launched a £0 product fee range.

The range, which includes options for interest-only and part-and-part, offers free standard valuations on purchases of properties valued up to £350,000 and free standard valuations and fees assisted legals on remortgages.

Tony Hall, sales and marketing director at Secure Trust Bank Mortgages, said: “At Secure Trust Bank, we underwrite every case on its own merits, using our criteria as an intelligent guide, not an insurmountable hurdle.

“This means that we can help brokers to place cases that might be too tricky for other lenders and, by cutting rates across 70 of our mortgages and introducing a £0 product fee range, we are making this approach even more accessible for clients who might not fit a standard credit score.

“The £0 product fee will be particularly useful for first-time buyers who want to minimise their upfront costs and remortgage clients who want an affordable way to switch their homeloan.”

Secure Trust Bank has also introduced £0 product fee mortgages available up to maximum LTVs across all of its product tiers. A 2-year fixed rate with £0 product fee is available from 2.84% up to 65% LTV and a 5-year fixed rate with £0 product fees up to 65% LTV is available from 3.84%.
