“Mutuals also made several rate rises this week, such as Melton Building Society increasing by up to 1.16%, but a few other brands increased rates by more than 0.25%, including Scottish Building Society, by up to 0.65%, Yorkshire Building Society by up to 0.55%, Newcastle Building Society by up to 0.46% and Skipton Building Society by up to 0.34%.

“Lenders also withdrew some deals from sale, including fixed deals from Santander, Newcastle Building Society, Leek United Building Society, Loughborough Building Society and Monmouthshire Building Society.

“New deals were also launched onto the market this week, including a 10-year fixed range from first direct, starting from 3.34%. Elsewhere, a few lenders tweaked or launched discounted variable rate deals, such as Saffron Building Society with their new deal priced 1.99%.”
