Nationwide senior manager of mortgages Carlo Pileggi says: : “These latest reductions will be welcome news for borrowers. We remain as committed as ever to supporting all areas of the market, whether it’s first-time buyers, home movers or those looking for a new deal, and with our reduced rates starting from 3.90%, we aim to be front of mind.”

Commenting on the cuts, Trinity Financial head of communications and PR Aaron Strutt says: “Good to see Nationwide lowering rates again after putting them up a few weeks ago especially as most lenders have been pushing up the cost of their mortgages.”

“It looks like the lender is lowering its two year fix from 3.99% to 3.90% – £1,499 fee and 40% deposit.”

“The two-year remortgage rate is also coming down from 4.04% to 3.92%. £1,499 fee and 40% deposit.”

Last month, Nationwide adjusted its mortgage affordability calculation by reducing its stress rates by between 0.75 and 1.25 percentage points.
