Only at 65 per cent LTV was there a slight reduction from 2.31 to 2.28 per cent.

Moneyfacts finance expert Eleanor Williams says: “Outside of the numerous tracker rate reductions coming off the back of the surprise base rate cut on Wednesday, there have been a couple of noteworthy changes this week. 

“HSBC has made increases of up to 10 basis points on a selection of its two, three and five-year fixed rate deals. 

“Hanley Economic Building Society has also launched a couple of new products which includes a fixed rate of 2.85 per cent to 29.6.22 at 95 per cent loan-to-value, which has a low fee and incentive package which may be appealing to first-time buyers looking to keep their costs down. 

“Another building society to make changes was Leeds Building Society who has balanced a mix of rate reductions and increases across selected deals in its range.”

She adds: “It will be very interesting to see the impact of the 0.5 percentage point bank base rate cut in the mortgage market over the next few weeks and how much of this is passed on to consumers. 

“If a customer is sitting on a tracker or variable rate mortgage, now may be a good time for them to assess their options and ensure they are on the best possible deal for their circumstances.”
