Barclays Stepped Mortgage 95% non HTB?

Options
Is this for real?

Barclays seem to be offering 95% mortgage that beats HTB on a 5 year fix
5 Year Stepped Fixed - Purchase Only

3.59% fixed until 30 Jun '16, then 4.19% fixed until 30 Jun '20

95% (max) of the value of your home (Max loan £500k)

The higher rate of payment is 4.19% which is significantly below the 4.89% the other best 5 year fix HTB mortgage rates are set at.

Am I missing something ? Seems like it should be too good to be true :j

    I think you will find this is a website error - the detail will probably be gone today.


    This product does not exist on the product update we brokers receive.


    Barclays do not alternate products online.

    With HTB the Government underwrites the risk by providing a guarantee. This guarantee isn't free. It has to be paid for. Ultimately by the consumer.
