Platform lowers rates on mortgages
Thu, 04 Feb 2010
Mortgage intermediary lender Platform has reduced rates on some of its fixed and tracker deals .

Its two-year fixed rate product now starts at 3.59 per cent, while the two-year tracker mortgage starts at 2.69 per cent.

The company, a part of Co-operative Bank, has also said that it will not increase the rates until the Bank of England base rate rises above one per cent and Lee Gladwell, director of business development at Platform, believe it is good news for intermediaries .

He said: "Platform is striving to develop a dedicated intermediary mortgage business that puts IFAs and consumers at the heart of our product and service proposition, enabling them to deliver a fair and personal service."

A report from moneyfacts.co.uk recently suggested that mortgage brokers are starting to become more competitive again.

It said that dual pricing during the banking crisis had resulted in lenders being able to offer better deals directly, and that, although they still have access to less offers, brokers are returning to a "level playing field".
