The building society's two year fixed rate product offers an interest rate of 4.64 per cent until October 31st 2008, while its five year fixed rate is set at 5.09 per cent a year.

A new buy-to-let range from Leeds Building Society provides landlords with a host of new options, including a new five year buy-to-let home loan offering a competitive fixed rate, flexibility and fee free options for those planning to remortgage their portfolio.

The mortgage provides a rate of 5.24 per cent, which the lender claims is market leading, with a rate of 5.84 per cent for the fee free version. Both products offers the flexibility of paying off up to ten per cent of the capital without penalty.
