West Brom BS cuts shared ownership mortgage rates and reintroduces three-year fixes 

West Brom Building Society has cut rates across its shared ownership mortgages. 

This includes a reduction of 0.26% to its two-year deal at 95% LTV, now priced at 4.68%, while another has been cut by 0.03% to 5.11% and now offers £500 cashback.

John Phillips, product manager at the West Brom, said: “Shared ownership is a core part of our purpose-led lending, and we remain committed to providing competitive products that make a real difference for customers. When we make changes to our products, we take on board our broker feedback, which is important in helping us understand what works best for our customers. 

“With demand remaining strong among borrowers with smaller deposits, and by refining our shared ownership range, we’re making sure we can continue to meet that need whilst also responding to the wider market environment. 

“We’ll continue to review our product range to ensure it remains aligned with the needs of our customers.”
