"We’re really proud to launch this market-leading rate, which is currently the lowest two-year mortgage available at 90% LTV."

Available to buyers and borrowers looking to remortgage, the 90% LTV variable mortgage tracks the Yorkshire’s SVR, currently at 4.74%, at a discounted rate of 3.20%.

The mortgage has an interest rate collar of 0.00% and will revert to Yorkshire’s SVR after the initial term of two years.

The mortgage has a £1,495 product fee. For borrowers at this LTV seeking a mortgage with a lower product fee, the Yorkshire also offers a two-year fixed rate mortgage at 2.49% with no upfront fee.

Charles Mungroo, Product Manager at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “We’re really proud to launch this market-leading rate, which is currently the lowest two-year mortgage available at 90% LTV.

“Getting on the property ladder can be tough, so we want to help as many people as possible to achieve their dream of homeownership. We hope our new offering will appeal to first-time-buyers and borrowers with smaller deposits who want to make the most of a low rate, and benefit from a potential reduction in their monthly repayments if our SVR reduces.”

Rachel Springall, Finance Expert from Moneyfacts, said: “This brand new deal from Yorkshire Building Society comes at a perfect time for any borrower who may have a limited deposit but still wants to take advantage of a low rate with a trusted brand. As with any mortgage deal, borrowers would be wise to work out the overall true cost to see if it’s the best possible choice for them.”
