In its prime range, its no-fee two-year fixed rate at 95 per cent loan to value (LTV) has fallen to 6.14 per cent and comes with a free valuation.
All near prime rates have fallen by 0.1 per cent and are aimed at those with less-than-perfect credit.
The lender said that in the last 12 months around 56 per cent of completions were for first-time buyers.
Richard Harrison, head of mortgages at Atom, said: “Mortgage rates continue to fall at Atom. This is good news for customers, particularly those who are looking to take their first step onto the property ladder as we continue to support them with great value on our higher LTV products.
“We understand that first-time buyers have arguably been impacted the most by the increase in house prices, higher interest rates and the cost of living crisis. That’s why we’re proud of the fact that the majority of our lending over the past 12 months has been to this group.
“Our latest rate reductions, with cuts to higher LTV products, highlight our continued focus on delivering speed, ease and value to the customers who need it most.”
