Jonathan Thompson, senior mortgage manager at Leeds Building Society, said: “We’ve already made a number of cuts in rates across our mortgages over the past few weeks, but we continuously look to stay as competitive as possible.
“Our latest reductions relate to a range of purchase and remortgage products as we seek to support a variety of different types of borrowers to get the home they want or a better deal on an existing mortgage.”
Furness BS cuts residential and BTL mortgage rates
Furness Building Society reduced rates across residential and buy-to-let (BTL) mortgages by as much as 0.35%.
