flag Santander launches a 98% LTV, 5.19% fixed-rate mortgage for first-time buyers with a £10k deposit, no fee, and £250 cashback.

flag Santander has launched a new five-year fixed-rate mortgage with a 98% loan-to-value ratio, the first major UK lender to offer such a high LTV, aimed at first-time buyers with a minimum £10,000 deposit. flag The product, part of its 'My First Mortgage' scheme, features a 5.19% rate, no arrangement fee, and £250 cashback, with loans up to £500,000 over 5 to 40 years. flag It is available only on existing homes and reflects a shift to help buyers overcome deposit barriers, though experts warn of risks like negative equity if property values fall, urging borrowers to plan for long-term repayment and overpayments to reduce LTV.
