Gen H cuts rates and adds to 95 per cent LTV range
Lender Gen H has cut mortgage rates across several loan to value (LTV) tiers by up to 60 basis points (bps).
Two-year fixed rates have been reduced by around 50 bps while three-year fixes falling by between 45 to 60 bps. Five-year fixed rates have been cut by between 45 to 56 bps.
A two-year fixed rate at 95 per cent LTV has been reintroduced. The fee-free option is priced at 7.18 per cent or borrowers can pay a £999 fee for a rate of 7.03 per cent.
The lender has also expanded its bundle service, where borrowers can get a further discount on their mortgage rate if they use its conveyancer, Gen H Legal, for their purchase to include homemovers. Previously this was restricted to first-time buyers only.
Homemovers taking the homebuying bundle will receive between a five bps and 22 bps discount on the equivalent standard product.
For example, someone taking the standard two-year fixed rate 80 per cent LTV deal at 6.75 per cent is discounted to 6.53 per cent if they take the homebuying bundle.

I’m delighted that we’re able to act on purchases and sales to create a stress-free, positive homebuying experience for even more people across the UK.”
