Skipton Building Society

Grandparents planning to provide regular financial support to their grandchildren may need tens of thousands of pounds more in pension savings to avoid compromising their own retirement, according to new analysis from Skipton Building Society.

Skipton Building Society is set to offer 100% loan-to-value (LTV) home loans for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis, targeting first-time buyers unable to save for a deposit.

North east-based Phil Anderson Financial Services has donated £1,000 to Aberdeen Cyrenians after it matched a donation made by Skipton Building Society.

Property owners can now fix a mortgage for five years for less than 1.5%.
