MY PRODUCT COMMENTS: A very good rate but unless the “bank of Mum and Dad bank” is on hand to help I would think the deposit is beyond the reach of the majority of first time buyers. The size of the early repayment charge is also chunky so if you are buying with a partner make sure they are the right one!
MY LENDER COMMENTS: The Post Office for Intermediaries is effectively Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries. They are fairly new re-entrants to the new mortgage market and finding there way. As such a number of their products including this one have limited availability.
