Magellan cuts rates on two-year fixes

Specialist mortgage lender Magellan Homeloans has cut its two-year fixed rate mortgages by up to 1.01 per cent.

The rate reductions have been made on mortgages up to 85 per cent loan-to-value in its Complex Prime range, which offers a choice of two and three-year fixed rates and Libor trackers with rates starting from 2.99 per cent.

Complex Prime products are aimed at borrowers who are unable to obtain a mortgage from high street lenders, including those who are self-employed and who have complex incomes.

Sales director Jason Neale said: “These cuts of up to 1.01 per cent on our two-year fixes will be welcome news for both brokers and their clients. 

“Our tracker rates have also been brought in-line with our fixed rates, giving borrowers a choice of either a fixed rate, or a variable rate deal with no early repayment charges.”

In 2015 the firm made its mortgage range available to directly authorised advisers for the first time, following a pilot of its Near Prime range, which targets borrowers turned down by mainstream lenders because of their credit profile.

Rob Jupp, chief executive at Essex-based Brightstar, said: “This is a welcome addition to the specialist range of first charge mortgage products and demonstrates the improvements of costed funds due to the performance of specialist loans being written in today’s market.”
