Pete Dockar, Gen H chief commercial officer, said: “It’s been a challenging year for aspiring homeowners. We’ve created highly innovative products to help people onto the ladder – but we realise that sometimes the rates continue to be a blocker to homeownership. That’s why we always work to keep our rates as low as we can.

“Today, we’re delighted we’ve been able to substantially reduce our rates – we want people to know that, even when times are tough, we are committed to helping them achieve their goals.”
