THE Chancellor's moves to increase the market for long-term fixed rate mortgages are welcomed, but of course here in Yorkshire we are ahead of the game.
Two leading building societies, Leeds & Holbeck and Yorkshire, are already offering ten-year fixed rates at below five per cent. It's nice to see Gordon Brown endorsing Yorkshire lenders' lead.
