Skipton amends mortgage criteria to aid borrowers.

Skipton Building Society has announced the introduction of changes to its criteria in a bid to help more borrowers. 

Policy enhancements include increasing the maximum loan size for those with a 15% deposit, from £500,000 to £625,000. The lender has also cut back its continuous employment criteria for first time buyers to 6 months. The lender advises that this shows its clear commitment to helping borrowers.

In addition, 2 and 5 year fixed rates have also been reduced. Range highlights include;

  • A 2 year fix for up to 60% LTV at 1.39%.
  • A 5 year fix for up to 90% LTV at 3.19%.

Both new deals are for property purchase and come with a £995.
