John Charcol mortgage technical manager Nicholas Mendes says: “Lender repricing has slowed down in the past few days and the rate reductions in Virgin’s latest repricing clearly show that, with the majority of rates seeing a 10bps to 19bps, with some seeing a minimal 1bp reduction. 

“While I expect to see further reductions, the period of weekly repricing clearly coming to an end.”
