Gen H chief distribution officer Sara Palmer says: “Swap rates have come down ever so slightly and we’re passing that on, with our biggest reductions for buyers with the smallest deposits.

“Many of our borrowers need the flexibility that our criteria and income booster give them, and these cuts make that borrowing more affordable.”
