Major lender cuts mortgage rates to best buys days after Halifax, Barclays and HSBC offer better deals
One of Britain's biggest mortgage lenders has announced it will cut rates on its home loans to best buy levels. From tomorrow, Nationwide Building Society will lower mortgage rates by up to 0.2 percentage points across its fixed rate deals. It follows hot on the heels of Barclays, HSBC, and Halifax, which also announced rate cuts in recent days. Nationwide's lowest two-year fixed rate will stand at a market leading 3.81 per cent. The deal, which is available to both new and existing customers buying with at least a 40 per cent deposit and comes with a £1,499 fee. On a £200,000 mortgage being repaid over 25 years that would work out as paying £1,035 a month. Those moving home with smaller deposits will also benefit from Nationwide's changes. Someone with a 10 per cent deposit will be able to secure a market leading 4.34 per cent five-year fix with a £1,499 fee from tomorrow. There is good news for first-time buyers as well. A first-time buyer with a 10 per cent deposit will be able to secure a five-year fixed rate of 4.39 per cent with a £999 fee from Nationwide. Meanwhile, a first-time buyers with a 25 per cent deposit will be able to bag a 4.2 per cent three-year fix, also with a £999 fee. With hundreds of thousands of households still to remortgage this year, Nationwide's is also lowering rates in this area. Its lowest two-year fix for households with at least 40 per cent equity in their home will be 3.89 per cent from tomorrow - albeit with a £1,499 fee. Nationwide's changes lookm like a direct response to Halifax and Barclays, which both announced rate reductions last week. Halifax has just launched a 3.84 per cent two-year fix targeting borrowers buying a home and Barclays has a 3.92 per cent five-year fix for those needing to remortgage. For those prepared to do something different than locking in for the standard two or five years, MPowered Mortgages has a three-year fix at 3.88 per cent for those buying with at least a 40 per cent deposit. 'Nationwide is the latest big lender to lower its rates and undercut its competitors,' said Aaron Strutt of Trinity Financial. 'Its new rates are cheap enough to top the best buy tables especially if you have a large deposit. 'It has acted quickly to lower rates and undercut Halifax by launching a 3.81 per cent two-year fix and a 3.92 per cent five-year fix for mortgages between £300,000 and £5 million. 'These are property purchase products.' Strutt expects more lenders to cut mortgage rates over the coming weeks due to competition ramping up. 'Five of the big six biggest lenders have lowered their rates and no doubt other lenders will follow their lead,' he said. 'If you are offered a sub-4 per cent rate at the moment you are doing pretty well. You just need to decide how long you want to fix for and that really comes down to your attitude to rise. 'Lots of people are still taking two-year fixes as they think rates will come down more. 'With £147bn worth of mortgages coming up for renewal between now and December this latest round of rate cuts which come as welcome news for homeowners needing to remortgage.' How to find a new mortgage Borrowers who need a mortgage because their current fixed rate deal is ending, or they are buying a home, should explore their options as soon as possible. Buy-to-let landlords should also act as soon as they can. Quick mortgage finder links with This is Money's partner L&C > Mortgage rates calculator > Find the right mortgage for you What if I need to remortgage? Borrowers should compare rates, speak to a mortgage broker and be prepared to act. Homeowners can lock in to a new deal six to nine months in advance, often with no obligation to take it. Most mortgage deals allow fees to be added to the loan and only be charged when it is taken out. This means borrowers can secure a rate without paying expensive arrangement fees. Keep in mind that by doing this and not clearing the fee on completion, interest will be paid on the fee amount over the entire term of the loan, so this may not be the best option for everyone. What if I am buying a home? Those with home purchases agreed should also aim to secure rates as soon as possible, so they know exactly what their monthly payments will be. Buyers should avoid overstretching and be aware that house prices may fall, as higher mortgage rates limit people's borrowing ability and buying power. What about buy-to-let landlords Buy-to-let landlords with interest-only mortgages will see a greater jump in monthly costs than homeowners on residential mortgages. This makes remortgaging in plenty of time essential and our partner L&C can help with buy-to-let mortgages too. How to compare mortgage costs The best way to compare mortgage costs and find the right deal for you is to speak to a broker.

UK house prices fall as stamp duty hits demand
House prices fell by the most in more than two years last month as an increase in stamp duty costs started to hurt demand, a closely watched survey suggests. Property prices fell by 0.8 per cent month-on-month to £271,619 in June, according to the Nationwide house price index, a sharper-than-expected fall than economists had forecast and marking the biggest monthly decline since February 2023. The annual rate of house price growth slowed to 2.1 per cent in June, from 3.5 per cent a month earlier. Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said: 'The softening in price growth may reflect weaker demand following the increase in stamp duty at the start of April.' Changes to stamp duty mean that now housebuyers in England and Northern Ireland pay the tax on properties over £125,000, rather than over £250,000, as was the case previously. First-time buyers also have to pay stamp duty on houses costing more than £300,000. Prior to the change in April, first-time buyers did not have to pay stamp duty for properties costing below £425,000. • Business live: follow for the latest news on companies, markets and the economy However, Gardner believes that despite 'ongoing economic uncertainties in the global economy,' activity is expected to pick up as the summer progresses 'since underlying conditions for potential buyers in the UK remain supportive'. He said the unemployment rate remains low, wages are rising after stripping out inflation and borrowing costs are likely to fall in the coming quarters. Other measures of Britain's housing market have illustrated a mixed picture after the expiry of a temporary discount on stamp duty for first-time buyers ended in April. Data from the Bank of England showed lenders approved more mortgages than expected in May, helped by lower interest rates. The Bank of England held interest rates at 4.25 per cent last month, and investors expect the central bank to reduce borrowing costs in two further quarter-point moves to 3.75 per cent by the end of the year. Anthony Codling, an analyst at RBC, believes that while 'the weakness in June may reflect the market adjusting to higher stamp duty costs, but the outlook seems firmer to us, real wages continue to rise, unemployment remains low, and Bank rate is likely to fall further in the coming months.' Tom Bill, head of UK residential research at Knight Frank, said: 'The legacy of the March stamp duty cliff edge is high supply and softer demand, which is putting downward pressure on house prices. We think there will be modest single-digit house price growth by the end of the year, but if you are planning to sell over the next few months, asking prices will need to reflect the fact that it is very much a buyers' market.'
