Gen H changes revert rate and SVR
Gen H has introduced a revert rate for new business of the base rate plus two per cent and lowered its standard variable rate (SVR) for existing customers by two per cent to 7.25 per cent.
The lender said that whether a homeowner is on the SVR or revert rate for flexibility to overpay without fees or because they are unsure of next steps at the end of their term, “the rate they pay should be as low as it can be”.
The lower rates will also insulate homeowners from possible payment shocks, the lender said.
Pete Dockar, Gen H’s chief commercial officer, said: “For many homeowners, variable rates are a frightening thing, because they’re typically much higher than the fixed rates available to lock in. We don’t want to encourage people onto the revert rate, but we realise that sometimes, life happens – you might miss your deadline to lock in a new fix, you may want to wait for lower rates to come along, or you may want the flexibility to make big overpayments without extra fees.
“In all of these cases, customers deserve a more affordable alternative to the opaque variable rates offered by many high street banks. Homeowners shouldn’t be punished for not locking in a fix.”
