NatWest cuts residential intermediary mortgage rates

NatWest Intermediary Solutions is reducing rates on a number of higher-LTV residential mortgages in its broker portfolio from today.

It will also be making some small increases to rates on its lower LTV deals and launching a new two-year tracker rate mortgage.

The biggest rate reductions are being introduced to its 90% LTV deals with its two-year fixed rate deals being cut by 34bps to 2.76% (£995 product fee) and 49bps to 3.25% (no product fee).

Its three-year fixed rate deals come down 37bps to 3.31% (£995 product fee) and 37bps to 3.78% (no product fee).

And its five-year fixed rate mortgages fall by 13 bps to 3.60% (£995 product fee) and 42bps to 3.93% (no product fee). 

The new two-year tracker will offer an initial rate of 1.78% for a max LTV of 75%.

Paul Kane, acting head of sales, NatWest Intermediary Solutions said: “We regularly review our intermediary range of products to ensure that we offer a balanced and competitive portfolio.

“The rate reductions on our higher LTV mortgages should provide brokers with a better choice to offer their customers with smaller deposits.”
