“In particular, a number of products from our 5-year product range have been cut by up to 1% providing an extremely competitive option for those homeowners seeking longer-term security.”

Sard added: “First-time buyers, movers and remortgagers alike will be able to take advantage of these great products and we expect there to be very strong demand from borrowers over the coming weeks.

“These products signify our continued commitment to supporting the intermediary market with great products and service.”
