Aidan Smith, product manager for mortgages at Accord Mortgages, said: “We’re always keen to pass on additional value to our brokers and their clients – whether they are looking to buy a home, remortgaging or funding a buy-to-let property, and so we’re really pleased to have been able to launch this range offering cheaper rates across many products.
“The exclusive cashback offering for first-time buyers, aimed at helping them with the significant costs incurred by moving into their first home, is the latest example of our commitment to helping this particular group of borrowers to secure a footing on the housing ladder.”
