NatWest IS cuts residential rates

Published on

NatWest Intermediary Solutions has made rate cuts to a number of buy-to-let and higher LTV residential mortgages in its broker portfolio.

There are rate reductions of between 9-23bps on its two-year fixed, five-year fixed and two-year tracker rate buy-to-let deals.

Rates have decreased on a number of its residential 90% and 95% LTV deals, including a 46bps cut on its five-year fixed rate 95% LTV mortgage.

There are also a couple of small rate increases on its two-year 70% LTV deals.

Paul Kane, acting head of sales at NatWest Intermediary Solutions, said: “We continue to have a healthy appetite to grow our presence in the buy-to-let market and have been working hard alongside out broker partners to improve our proposition in this competitive sector. These rate changes should provide a good indicator of our intent to make further progress with buy-to-let business for the reminder of this year and into 2016.

“We have maintained a strong commitment to first-time buyers by including a range of  higher LTV residential and specific Help to Buy scheme products in our intermediary portfolio, so I am delighted that we are able to improve the rates on these deals, supporting customers looking to buy their first property.”
