NatWest and HSBC cut mortgage rates again - could we soon see a five-year fix below 5%?
Daily Mail Mortgage deals continue to steadily cheapen, with HSBC, NatWest and Accord kicking off the week by announcing a number of rate cuts.
From tomorrow, HSBC will be cutting rates across various deals aimed at first-time buyers, home movers and remortgagers.
However, it won't confirm what the new rates will be until tomorrow.
Similarly, NatWest will cut some of its rates for home movers, first-time buyers and those remortgaging, albeit the majority of its products are seeing little improvement.
For example, its cheapest five-year fix for those buying with at least a 40 per cent deposit is remaining at 5.27 per cent.
Alongside HSBC and NatWest, lender, Accord Mortgages is also cutting all its fixed rates by 0.2bps from tomorrow.
