Andy Forbes, Head of Retail Products at first direct, commented:
"Despite Funding for Lending making the mortgage market more competitive and the recent uplift in the housing market we haven't seen as many people as we expected taking the plunge and moving mortgages.
"We want to make it easy for customers to get a great mortgage deal, removing the barrier of paying a fee. So now, whether you have a high or low LTV, want a Tracker or Fixed rate, Offset or Repayment, there is a first direct fee free mortgage with a great rate that fits."
