A 2 year offset fixed rate mortgage has also been launched at 2.99 per cent for 70 per cent LTV with fees of £1,495.
Jemma Smith, product manager at Chelsea, said of the new 2 and 3 year fixed rate mortgages: “This is a really positive start to 2012 and is an example of our commitment to the mortgage market and how we want to proceed throughout the year.
“Given recent activity within swap rates, we have been able to further reduce a number of our mortgage rates, making them even more competitive for consumers, something which we feel is a welcome relief in January.
“Rate reductions also have been made to Chelsea’s range of lower fee option products. With these changes we really do believe that we have something to offer everyone.”
Chelsea Building Society revamped its 2 and 3 year fixed rate mortgages in order to make its reduced rate products more attractive to borrowers in 2012.
