What is Avant Money’s One Mortgage?
Avant Money’s One Mortgage rate is a whole of term fixed rate mortgage, as such your mortgage is a fixed for life mortgage. Fixed terms of up to 30 years fixed are available under the product offering and Avant have noted the product allows you to fix and forget.
Avant Money have today announced rate changes across their fixed rate products.
Avant have reduced their One Mortgage, whole of mortgage fixed rate, which now starts from 3.95%.
Avant Money Head of Mortgages Brian Lande said: “With interest rates predicted to rise even further, our One Mortgage offers customers the option of fixing their mortgage repayments now, thus avoiding any further increases.”
Avant Moneys One Mortgage product at current pricing will be attractive to mortgage switchers who have stronger loan to values and as such can access their lowest market rate offering but equally the purchaser segment of the mortgage who want to lock in a rate and not have to think about it for the mortgage term, in particular those with fixed incomes who would like security over repayments.
Avant have increased their 3 to 5 year fixed rates by on average 0.3%, a modest increase relative to the level of increase we have seen from lenders over the last six months.
Including current increases Avant’s 3 year fixed rates which start from 3.6% remains the lowest rate on the market.
Avant are combining the reduction in their One Mortgage rates with a switcher incentive of €1,500 available until 29th Sept, subject to terms.
Avant is also offering a price guarantee on their One Mortgage rate that is included on their loan offers until 29th September giving switchers security over rate when switching.
Avant Moneys One Mortgage product offers value and certainty which so many mortgage holders now crave.
Having a rate that means repayments are fixed for the life of the mortgage is very attractive for many mortgage holders with fixed incomes or those who do not want to be exposed to further rate increases.
