HSBC UK cuts mortgage rates

HSBC UK has made changes to its mortgage range, reducing the interest rate across a number of fixed rate mortgages and LTVs, the bank announced today.

The bank is reducing rates on 18 mortgages across 60% to 80% LTV, with rates as low as 1.14% for a 2 year fixed rate deal at 60%, and 1.39% for a 5 year fixed rate for those homeowners who want more longer term certainty over payments.

Changes include:

  • 2 year fixed rate at 60% LTV (£999 fee) will see a reduction of 0.05% to 1.14%. The fee-saver equivalents also reduced by 0.05% to 1.44%.
  • 3 year fixed rate at 75% LTV (£999 fee) reduced by 0.05% to 1.39%.
  • 5 year fixed rate at 75% LTV fee-saver reduced by 0.10% to 1.89%.
  • 2 year tracker at 80% LTV (£999 fee) reduced by 0.05% to 1.69%.

Michelle Andrews, HSBC UK’s Head of Buying a Home, said: “With many people coming off a fixed rate deal, whether they were five, three or two year, it is likely that they are on a higher rate than what is currently available. Remortgaging onto a lower rate could save them thousands of pounds over their fixed term, and even more if they were to stay on a Standard Variable Rate.

“For many, given the nature of recent events, a five year deal will provide certainty on cost and related peace of mind.”
