Buying a home is without a doubt one of the biggest financial decisions that you will ever make, but it’s also one of the most rewarding too.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizer, or looking to take the leap from renting to owning your own, buying new usually brings much lower living costs making it a sensible and achievable option.
And, with a 5% deposit contribution on many of our homes on us, you’ll only need to find 5% to make your dream move.
Below are some examples of current mortgage rates on various loans, showing just how affordable homeownership can be:

Skipton Building Society will follow this procedure whether the Bank of England Base Rate rises or falls.
