Examples of the 10 year fixed rates include remortgages at 2.42% with 60% LTV and £995 fee, including 0.40% discount and 2.64% with 75% LTV and £995 fee including 0.40% discount.

For home movers the Lloyds products include a 2.64% deal with 60% LTV and £995 fee, including 0.40% discount and 2.84% at 75% LTV and £995 fee, including 0.40% discount.

‘We’re seeing customers looking for longer periods of certainty when it comes to mortgage payments. Our new 10 year fixed mortgages will help provide remortgage customers and home movers with greater certainty with budgeting over the longer term,’ said Andrew Mason, Lloyds Bank mortgage products director.

With the Halifax, which is part of the Lloyds Banking Group, the new fixes are available at 60% LTV and 75% LTV for loans between £25,000 and £1 million, including options with and without fees.

Home mover rates start at 2.44% at 60% LTV with a £995 fee and 2.59% with 75% LTV and £995 fee, while for remortgage customers the rates begin at 2.69% with 60% LTV with a £995 fee and 2.89% with 75% LTV with a £995 fee.

‘Many home owners are looking for certainty with their mortgage payments over the longer term to give more peace of mind when it comes to their monthly outgoings,’ said Andy Bickers, mortgages director at Halifax.

‘We are always coming up with new ways to meet the needs of mortgage customers and bolstering our existing range of two and five year fixed rate products with these new, competitively priced 10 year fixes,’ he explained.
