Virgin Money is launching new fix and switch deals tomorrow, while Halifax, BM Solutions, NatWest and Fleet Mortgages have announced rate cuts.

Halifax and NatWest’s price reductions are to their product transfer rates which follow bespoke pricing.

BM Solutions is trimming costs by up to 9 basis points on buy-to-let and let-to-buy deals.

Fleet Mortgages is cutting rates on two and five year fixes in its standard, limited company, houses in multiple occupation and multi-unit freehold block ranges tomorrow.

It has not revealed its new pricing yet.

The lender is also launching three new HMO deals with fee-free and fixed fee options.

At Virgin Money, the new fix and switch deals include five-year deals with two-year early repayment charges.

In this range a new 90% LTV five-year deal for purchase is 5.19% with a £1,495 fee.

A five-year fee saver deal at 80% LTV is 4.93%.

For remortgage, a five-year fix with two-year ERC at 75% LTV is 4.85% and at 85% LTV it is 5.39%.

New buy-to-let rates start from 4.85% with a £495 fee for a five-year deal with two-year ERC at 60% LTV.

Speaking about the lenders moving to bespoke pricing on product transfers, including Halifax and NatWest, 

Trinity Financial’s Aaron Strutt says: “Brokers are increasingly having to log into their clients’ accounts to check the rates they are being offered to stay. 

“Existing customer deals are disappearing from product guides and sourcing systems as lenders move to more bespoke pricing to make it easier for them to retain customers based on their overall financial situation and repayment history.”
