“These latest changes reflect our ongoing commitment to supporting borrowers, including those with lower deposits, offering them greater value and flexibility across a wider set of needs.

“The support and insight we receive from intermediaries continues to play a vital role in shaping our product range.”

Moneyfacts figures today show that the average two and five-year fixed rates have remained unchanged for two weeks.
