“We also have reduced rates on our switching range to support those coming to the end of their existing deal.

“With switching rates now starting at 3.94 percent, these latest reductions ensure we maintain our existing mortgage member price guarantee, meaning our switching products will be the same or lower than our equivalent remortgage rates.”
