Elsewhere in the range, the lender offers free standard valuation on properties of up to £500,000, cashback of £500 and several zero-product fee options.

Franco Di Pietro, head of intermediary mortgages at Newcastle Intermediaries, said: “We’re constantly assessing the competitiveness of our range so we’re pleased to give brokers and their clients some competitive options across our higher LTV range.

“We’ve increased the cashback from £250 to £500 on certain products, which combined with the reduced rates will better support first time buyers, home movers and customers who are looking to remortgage.”
