“We’ve listened to feedback and are reintroducing our popular Homebuyer and Remortgage Solutions to a number of products within our standard residential 2 Year Tracker range giving customers even more flexibility and choice. We’re now leading the market with our 80 per cent LTV tracker product. Plus we’re reducing the rate on our unique fee-free Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee Tracker, which will certainly prove to be a popular choice for homebuyers looking to secure a property through the scheme.   

Furthermore, as well as reducing rates on our Existing Mover exclusives, existing mortgage customers moving home benefit from more flexible lending decisions via Introducer Internet and brokers will also receive a full proc fee on the total balance.  We want to be the intermediary partner of choice and these latest improvements to our range support our commitment to the market by offering good value to their clients. As we move towards MMR, we want to reassure intermediaries that they can continue to expect great rates and quality service from SFI.”
