The changes include reductions to the residential range of up to 10 basis points (bps) on the intermediary-only lender’s 10-year fixed rate product, and selected two-year products are reduced by 4bps. Five-year fixes are going down by 6bps.
The buy-to-let range for landlord clients sees fixed rates reduce by 5bps across the board.
The changes come into effect from tomorrow (12 December) and include:

- A five-year fix up to 85% LTV at 5.05% (was 5.11%) for those remortgaging, with a £495 fee, free standard valuation and remortgage legal service
- And a two-year fix up to 95% LTV at 6.17% (was 6.21%) for those purchasing a home, with a £495 fee, £250 cashback and free standard valuation.
And for landlords seeking a buy-to-let mortgage:
