The best residential mortgage rates 22.01.21

The mortgage charts have remained highly competitive this week, with low rates available in both the remortgage and moving home charts. First-time buyers will be pleased that more providers are starting to reintroduce their high loan-to-value (LTV) deals, meaning that there are more options for those with a 10% or less deposit.

Below are the lowest rates available in the remortgage, moving home and first-time buyer charts. While the mortgage rate is important when considering which deal to choose, borrowers should also consider a range of factors such as product fees, incentives and flexibility when comparing deals. Borrowers unsure of which deal is the best option for them, should consider speaking to a mortgage broker who will be able to provide help and advice in choosing the best option.
