Hinckley & Rugby has also amended rates across its full retention range, with reductions of up to 25 basis points now in effect.

Laura Sneddon, head of mortgage sales and distribution at Hinckley & Rugby for Intermediaries, said: “Our latest rate changes are designed to give brokers competitive solutions in areas of the market where flexibility is vital. Whether it’s non-standard income, credit complexity or long-term affordability, these products offer strong options for clients who may struggle to access mainstream deals.

“By reducing rates across a range of specialist and core products, we’re giving brokers more room to manoeuvre, with pricing that stays competitive while still backed by the tailored, case-by-case approach we’re known for.

“At the same time, we’re also making sure our existing borrowers are well-served. The updates to our retention range allow brokers to support clients beyond their initial fixed term with improved value and a smoother product transfer process.”
