The country’s largest building society adds that for first-time buyers and those looking to move home, rates will increase by between 5bps and 40bps on products up to 95% loan to value.
Remortgage rates will rise by between 5bps and 40bps on products up to 90% LTV.
Commenting on the rate changes Moneyfacts finance expert Rachel Springall says: “These increases by Nationwide come at a time of volatility surrounding future interest rates, and it is a move we have seen from other lenders through uncertain times as they adjust their pricing (such as surrounding the fiscal announcement and during the UK lockdown over the pandemic).
She adds:“Just a few weeks ago, it was widely expected that fixed mortgage rates would reduce over the next few months, but it is impossible to predict such rate movements as pricing is determined by fluctuating swap rates and lenders appetite for business.
“When lenders withdraw mortgage products it can be in reaction to interest rate volatility, or even down to demand. However, withdrawals may influence other lenders to follow suit and reconsider their own propositions. Anyone considering a new mortgage would be wise to seek advice to go over the full package of any deal to find the right deal for them.”
