In the buy-to-let sector, Paragon has lowered rates by up to 20bps and streamlined its further advance application process.
Other lenders to cut rates this week include Santander by up to 27bps, plus Halifax and BM Solutions, but Natwest announced some increases.
Meanwhile, Accord has tightened its affordability requirements for some borrowers.
It has increased the minimum income threshold for residential customers borrowing at multiples of 4.49x loan-to-income (LTI) and above from £50,000 to £65,000.
The change does not apply to first-time buyers, which have no minimum income requirement.
