Amongst the changes are new 80% LTV products, with new remortgage rates starting at 1.88% fixed for two years and 1.92% fixed for five years, both with a £1,495 fee.
New purchase rates at 80% LTV include a two-year fixed rate at 2.05% and a five-year fix at 2.25%, both with a £495 fee, £250 cashback and a free valuation.
The Yorkshire has also reduced rates on some of its mortgages at 75% and 85% LTV, and added additional features such as cashback, free standard valuation and free legal fees to other loans.
Ben Merritt, senior mortgage manager at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “With the housing market still very much active we’ve reduced the rates on some of our mortgages to help those looking to start the New Year with a house move, or remortgage.
“As ever, we understand people’s mortgage requirements differ, so we’ve made sure we continue to offer home loans with a number of different features to best meet the varying needs borrowers have.
“This means we’ve improved both short and longer-term fixed rate mortgages, ensured some have no product fees and for others have included additional features so borrowers can choose a mortgage best suited to them.”
