Lenders, including Nationwide Building Society, are making changes to mortgage interest rates

Nationwide Building Society has confirmed another wave of interest rate cuts across its line of mortgage products following the latest move from the Bank of England.

The central bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted eight-to-one to hold the UK's base rate at 4.5 per cent in a blow to borrowers.


However, analysts are pricing in further cuts to interest rates later in the year which will impact the mortgage deals offered by banks and building societies.

Following today's announcement by the Bank of England, Nationwide has revealed plans to slash mortgage rates for different types of customes.

The high street building society is reducing rates by up to 0.26 percentage points effective from tomorrow, March 21.

These rate cuts will apply to selected two, three and five-year fixed rate products between 80 per cent and 95 per cent Loan-to-Value (LTV).

Furthermore, the interest rate cuts will further support first-time buyers, Britons looking to move home as well as those looking for a new mortgage deal.

With these changes, Nationwide is introducing sub-five per cent rates for first-time buyers as well as existing and new customers moving home with just a five per cent deposit.
