Alliance and Leicester cut rates

Mortgage provider Alliance and Leicester have launched a new range of mortgages, and cut rates to entice potential customers.

Amongst the deals on offer is a buy-to-let two-year fixed-rate mortgage, available for 5.18 per cent and an arrangement fee of £1,999.

A spokesman for the group added: "We now also offer some self-certification and buy to let deals at 90 per cent LTV, which makes our range even more accessible."
