TSB adjusts rates; CHL broadens BTL range – round-up

TSB has made rate reductions to select small deposit mortgages and increased pricing on other deals.

The reductions have applied to the first-time buyer and homemover residential products from TSB, and the three-year fix at 90-95 per cent loan to value (LTV) has been cut by 0.05 per cent to 5.34 per cent. 

The five-year fixed options at 80 to 95 per cent LTV have been lowered by 0.05 per cent and are now priced from 4.59 per cent with a £995 fee and at 80 per cent LTV and 5.14 per cent for a fee-free deal at 90-95 per cent LTV. 

Elsewhere, TSB has put rates up for buy-to-let (BTL) remortgage. The two-year fixed rates up to 60 per cent LTV have increased by up to 0.2 per cent, while the options at 60 to 75 per cent LTV with £995 and £1,995 fees have risen by up to 0.2 per cent. 

The lender has also increased two-, three- and five-year fixed rates by up to 0.1 per cent. This applies to products up to 60 per cent LTV, and options between 60 and 75 per cent LTV with a £995 fee. 

Last month, TSB created a dedicated large loan team.
