Craig Calder, Director of Mortgages, Barclays said: “We constantly review market conditions to ensure our range of fixed rates are competitive as possible. We want to help more hard-working first-time buyers get on the property ladder sooner, as well as those choosing to remortgage, to keep their mortgage costs low. Over recent weeks, we have seen several consecutive reductions in the funding market which has enabled us to respond and pass on rate reductions directly to our customers.”
