In a message sent out to all mortgage intermediaries (brokers) yesterday, Nationwide announced a huge rate reduction to some of their mortgage products. The intermediary arm of the building society announced that they would be making some big changes to standard Nationwide mortgage rates across their products after a turbulent last few months in 2022. This is just another positive move in the direction of what should shape up to be a great year for mortgages and house finance in general in 2023.
What Are The Changes That Nationwide Have Made?
Nationwide have made changes to products for first-time buyers, home movers and people looking to remortgage a property. So pretty much catering for all areas of property finance. A very encouraging sign going into 2023 as it points towards a renewed appetite for borrowing from a key player in the mortgage lending market. All of the mortgage products being reduced are across 2, 3 & 5-year fixes and some will come with a £999 fee.

Director of mortgages at Nationwide Henry Jordan commented on these new changes, saying:
“We’re making these latest rate reductions to ensure the Society remains front of mind for all borrowers, especially those where rate is a key consideration. So, whether it’s a first-time buyer, someone purchasing their next home or those looking to remortgage once their current deal comes to end, Nationwide’s mortgage range has competitive rates across all loan-to-values.
We are also maintaining our existing mortgage member pricing pledge meaning our switcher products will be the same or lower than remortgage equivalents. These latest changes, coupled with our existing schemes such as Helping Hand and Deposit Unlock, show our support for the housing market and all types of borrowers remains as a strong as ever and what people come to expect from the world’s largest building society.”
