Halifax cuts rates

Halifax has reduced the rates on its 2-year 60% loan to value fixed rate homemover mortgage by 0.10% to 2.49 % and its 2-year 75% LTV fixed remortgage by 0.20% to 2.89%.

The lender has also cut the rates on its 2-year 80% and 85% LTV fixed and tracker remortgage rates reduced by 0.20%.

Craig McKinlay, new mortgages director at Halifax, said:"The housing market continues to strengthen, and once again Halifax is reducing rates on a number of products to help underpin these improvements.

“Whether customers are looking to remortgage or buy their first home, these competitive rates should really help."
