The country's second-largest mortgage lender is slashing interest rates

Nationwide Building Society has announced another major change to its line of mortgage products in a significant boon for homeowners and prospective homebuyers.

From tomorrow, Wednesday July 30, the lender will be slashing rates attached to two-year, three-year and five-year fixed rates by 0.21 percentage points.


Mortgage holders have been saddled with record-high monthly repayments in recent years due to base rate hikes from the Bank of England in its fight against inflation.

However, with inflation easing closer to two per cent, the central bank is expected to slash interest rates two more times this year, which will impact the cost of borrowing passed

Inflation rises to 3.5% in blow to households - but Bank of England still tipped to cut interest rates

Carlo Pileggi, Nationwide’s senior manager for Mortgages, said: “As the country’s second largest lender, we always strive to support all parts of the market with competitive rates.

"This latest round of cuts across our range move even more of our rates below four per cent and should put Nationwide front of mind of first-time buyers, those moving on to their next home and those looking for a new mortgage deal."

The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is next scheduled to meet and discuss the UK's base rate on August 7, 2025.
