Harpenden has listened to intermediaries, understood their needs and acted upon a necessity to provide a fixed rate option to increase their product range.

Ken Hale, Head of Lending at Harpenden Building Society comments: ‘Our new fixed rate offering is a major step forward for us in diversifying our product range and will provide additional security for our customers during this time of economic instability.

Our new, 2 year fixed rate mortgage allows our customers to plan with confidence but without being locked into an unnecessarily long, restrictive deal such as a 5 year term. Additional flexibility is retained within the 2 year fixed rate product with overpayment options included so customers can pay off the loan quicker.”
