Barclays has reduced a range of mortgage rates, with changes effective from 19 June.

These will apply to its residential purchase products, such as a two-year fix at 60% loan to value (LTV) with an £899 fee, which has been cut by nine basis points (bps) to 4.3%, while the fee-free alternative has been lowered by 13bps to 4.51%. 

At 75% LTV, the premier two-year fix with an £899 fee has been cut by 24bps to 4.47%, and the standard option, also with an £899 fee, has fallen by the same amount to 4.69%. 

The corresponding product with no fee has been cut by 23bps to 4.69%. 

Changes have also been made to selected three- and five-year fixes, including green home and Springboard products. 

Barclays has also added two purchase-only tracker deals, including a two-year offset tracker with a £1,999 fee at 75% LTV, priced at 5.8%, and a premier two-year tracker with a £999 fee at 60% LTV, priced at 3.99%.
