Commenting on the changes Leeds Building Society director of products Matt Bartle said: “In support of our purpose of putting homeownership within reach of more people, we have decided start strong in 2024 by making reductions on rates across our mortgage product range to support more people onto and up the property ladder.
“In 2023 the mortgage market was constrained due to the ongoing pressure of the increasing cost of living, but as a lender we want to play our part to try to overcome the hurdles people face and help more people into homeownership.”
