Nicholas Mendes, mortgage technical manager at John Charcol, said: “Lender repricing has slowed down in the past few days and the rate in reductions in Virgin latest repricing clearly show that with the majority of rates seeing a 0.10% – 0.19% with some seeing a minimal 0.1% reduction.

“While I expect to see further reductions, the period of weekly repricing clearly coming to an end. 

“Mortgage holders approaching the end of their fixed rate should look to speak with a broker and secure a rate soon and regularly review rather than holding off.”
