For the building society’s existing members moving home, Nationwide is also reducing rates by up to 0.60% on two-, three-, and five-year fixed rate products up to 90% LTV. Shared equity rates up to 80% LTV are also being cut by up to 0.60%.

Selected switcher products are also getting rates lowered by up to 0.06%.

For those looking to borrow more, the mutual is reducing selected two-, three-, and five-year fixed rates on its additional borrowing range by up to 0.06%, while the rate on green additional borrowing is also being reduced by 0.10% with the rate now at 4.39%.

Full details of all rates, indicating the latest rate changes, can be found on Nationwide’s website.

“We’re making these latest rate reductions to ensure the society remains front of mind for all borrowers, especially those where rate is a key consideration,” Henry Jordan (pictured), director of mortgages at Nationwide Building Society, said. “We are also maintaining our existing mortgage member pricing pledge, meaning our switcher products will be the same or lower than remortgage equivalents.

“These latest changes, coupled with our existing schemes such as Helping Hand and Deposit Unlock, show our support for the housing market and all types of borrowers.”
