Henry Jordan, the director of Home at Nationwide Building Society, outlined why the financial institution is opting to slash mortgage rates at this time.
He explained: “We’re making further rate cuts across our fixed rate mortgage range to ensure we continue to cement our position as one of the most competitive lenders in the market.
“Over the last three months, we have reduced rates eight times over that period.
“That has meant our rates have fallen by up to 1.39 percentage points as we look to maintain our support for potential and existing homeowners, as well as brokers, by offering attractively priced products.”
