Henry Jordan, director of mortgages at Nationwide, said: “As one of the largest lenders in the UK we always keep our rates under review to ensure we can maintain our competitive position in the market.

“These latest reductions see the society launch its lowest ever new lending mortgage rate, which will offer those looking for a new deal one of the best rates available.

“However, reductions have been made at all loan to value levels so whether someone is buying a new home, remortgaging their existing property or getting a further advance to improve their home we have a range of mortgages on offer to suit their needs.”
