HSBC extends 1.99% discount deal

Natalie Holt
HSBC has extended the availability of its 1.99% two-year discounted mortgage until the end of October.

The deal is available at 60% LTV and was launched on September 1.

The lender says that this deal has prompted a sales surge with the value of discount mortgages sold in September alone totalling £245m.

Martijn van der Heijden, head of mortgages at HSBC, says: “Our range of mortgages have topped the best buy tables for most of the year.

"We made a commitment to stay open for business and extending the 1.99% mortgage is part of that.”

HSBC announced last week that it is allocating an extra £500m to 90% LTV lending this year.

Today has seen a flurry of activity from lenders launching low tracker deals, with Woolwich, Northern Rock, Abbey, and Alliance & Leicester all cutting rates.
