Jatin Patel, head of mortgages, savings and insurance at Barclays, said: “Recent market volatility means many homeowners have understandably been keeping a close eye on mortgage rates. We are pleased to announce a number of rate reductions live today across our mortgage range.
“However, it’s important that homeowners know they don’t always need to hold off on decisions while they wait for rates to change. Many lenders, including Barclays, offer the option to secure a new mortgage up to 90 days before end of their current deal, with the flexibility to switch if a better rate comes along. In periods of uncertainty this can help provide peace of mind for consumers looking to plan their next move.”
