HSBC has reduced mortgage rates across a number of its products, available from 19 May.

This will apply to two-, three- and five-year fixes up to 95% loan to value (LTV). The rate cuts will affect mortgages for existing residential customers switching, borrowing more, residential first-time buyers and homemovers, and remortgage borrowers. 

There will also be reductions made to buy-to-let (BTL) purchase, switching and borrowing more, remortgage, international residential and international BTL products. 

 

TSB tweaks pricing 

TSB has made some reductions and cuts to its mortgage rates across the residential and BTL ranges. 

This applies to two-year fixed first-time buyer and homemover rates up to 85% LTV, which have been increased by 0.1% and now start at 3.99% up to 60% LTV with a £995 fee, up to 4.59% at 80-85% LTV with no fee.
