Moneyfacts finance expert Rachel Springall says: “Rate rises dominated the residential mortgage market this week, with several well-known lenders making movements as well as various building societies. We also had sight of a few lenders increasing their standard variable rates and a few fixed deals pulled from the market.
“The biggest fixed-rate rise we saw was from Lloyds Bank that increased selected fixed rates by up to 81 basis points. This was followed by Halifax who increased selected fixed rates by up to 60 basis points for both direct business and intermediaries.
A few other big banks made moves this week, including Barclays Bank who increased rates by up to 20 basis points and launched new fixed rates at several LTV bands, including a new deal under the mortgage guarantee scheme priced at 3.35% to 31 August 2027 for borrowers with a 5% deposit. HSBC added a £500 cashback incentive to selected fixed deals this week, but they also increased other fixed options by up to 25 basis points and launched a few more deals at higher LTVs.
“TSB also decided to increase selected fixed rates by up to 35 basis points but they also withdrew a few of their ‘new build’ fixed deals.
“There were several building societies tweaking their mortgage ranges this week, the largest rate uplift we recorded among these brands was from Skipton Building Society, upping its ‘large loan’ fixed rates by up to 56 basis points, as well as withdrawing selected fixed mortgages and variable trackers.
“Nottingham Building Society launched several new fixed mortgages at higher LTVs, including a deal at 95% LTV priced at 3.65% to 31 July 2024, but they also increased some fixed deals by up to 50 basis points. Newcastle Building Society introduced several new fixed mortgages and discounted variable rates to its range, including deals at 80%, 90% and 95% LTV.

Chelsea Building Society and Beverly Building Society also increased selected fixed rates by up to 29 basis points and 24 basis points, respectively.
