The UK’s largest mortgage broker has revealed new research highlighting the popularity of five-year fixed interest rate mortgage products.

Countrywide Mortgage Services employs nearly 800 consultants across the country and monitors the popularity of its products on behalf of some of the UK’s biggest lenders.

Countrywide has a team of qualified consultants based throughout Morris Dibben in the Southampton area. Following the launch of several exclusive mortgage products since the New Year, there is a growing trend among customers seeking the reassurance and comfort of longer term fixed interest rates.

Sue Ward, Countrywide Financial Services Manager said: “Recent events in the economy have changed the buying habits of many customers looking for mortgages. Uncertainty over salaries, bonuses and commission mean many home owners prefer the peace of mind that comes with long-term financial planning. This month, we’ve launched two new and exclusive five-year fixed interest mortgages and they already feature in our most sourced products table.” Local mortgage customers can access information on hundreds of mortgage products and government home ownership housing schemes by visiting their local Morris Dibben office.

Sue added: “Fixed interest rates help people plan and understand what their income and outgoings are. Changes in the economy mean people are concerned about not overstretching themselves so fixed interest products and shared ownership schemes have become hugely popular, especially for first time buyers, key workers and divorcees moving up the property ladder on their own. We want to use this research to help more customers in Southampton.
