Full details of all rates included in the latest changes are available online through the lender’s website.

“These latest changes mean we will have reduced rates for the fourth time this year and now have a sub-4% rate for those looking to remortgage and a sub-5% rate for first-time buyers,” Henry Jordan (pictured), director of home at Nationwide Building Society, said in a post announcing the rate changes. “In a continually moving market, we always aim to remain competitive across the board for first-time buyers, home, and those looking to remortgage.

“We have also reduced rates on our switcher range to support those coming to the end of their existing deal. With switcher rates now starting at 3.94%, these latest reductions ensure we maintain our existing mortgage member pricing pledge, meaning our switcher products will be the same or lower than our equivalent remortgage rates.”
