Kensington Mortgages has made rate reductions across most of its residential mortgage range.

For Kensington’s Select product range, interest rates now start at 2.34% for a two-year fixed product at 75% LTV. For young professionals, rates now start at 2.54% for a two-year fixed product and 3.24% for five-year fixed, all at 75% LTV.

Reduced rates are also available for Kensington’s Select Premier mortgage range for loans up to £2 million. Available in a one, two and five-year fixed product, rates start at 2.44% for one-year fixed (or 3.19% for five-year fixed) at 75% LTV.

New rates have also been announced for Kensington’s Help to Buy range across its two and five-year fixed products. Rates start at 3.49% (two-year) and 4.14% (five-year) at 75% LTV.

Craig McKinlay, new business director, Kensington Mortgages, said: “We’re feeling festive at Kensington, so ahead of Christmas, we’ve cut rates across our residential mortgage range. Providing borrowers and brokers with a wide range of products at competitive rates is our core focus.

“We help individuals find the right product – through taking the time to understand their circumstances and tailoring products specifically to them.

“Our rate cuts reinforce our commitment to helping borrowers are underserved and undervalued by high-street lenders to step onto the property ladder sooner rather than later.”
