Stephen Leonard, Director of Mortgages at Alliance & Leicester said: “With growing uncertainty about the direction of interest rates in 2007, we’re offering some market leading fixed rates to give borrowers that all-important budgetary certainty. We’ve reduced the rates on all our fixed rate mortgages to introduce some truly cracking headline rates whilst still offering a wide choice of deals to suit borrowers’ individual needs – whatever their circumstances!”
