Tandem has reduced rates for its residential first charge products by up to 0.96%.

One of the standout offerings in this pricing update is the two-year fixed product at 90% Loan-to-Value (LTV) and a competitive rate of 7.49%.

A £1,495 fee applies and the maximum loan amounts of £750,000 up to 80% LTV, and £500,000 for 90% LTV.

Further rate discounts are available to borrowers across the entire product range for both new purchases and re-mortgages with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A, B, or C.

For properties with an A, B, or C rating, clients can enjoy a further rate discount of up to 0.3%, making it even more attractive for environmentally conscious homeowners and aligning with Tandem’s goal to help UK consumers transition to greener homes, transport and lifestyles.

The lender has also revamped its criteria guide to make it accessible and user-friendly for mortgage advisors.

Tandem Bank sales and distribution director Roger Morris said: “Our commitment to providing transparent, accessible, and competitive mortgage solutions is reflected in these rate reductions and the simplified criteria guide.”
