Kensington Mortgages is lowering selected residential rates by up to 75bps.

Rates have reduced by up to 31bps across Kensington’s 65% to 85% LTV products and core rates have been lowered by up to 70bps across 70% to 85% LTV products, while rates across large loan, young professionals, Hero, eKo, and Right to Buy mortgages have reduced by up to 75bps.

Kensington’s lowest residential rates include its 65% LTV five-year fixed rate at 5.59% and a 65% LTV two-year fix at 5.89%. Both offerings include a £999 fee and £500 cashback.

Others to note are Kensington’s large loan products, including its 75% LTV five-year fixed rate at 5.59% and 75% LTV two-year fixed rate at 5.89%. They now include a fee of £1,999, a free valuation, and £250 cashback.

In addition, Kensington’s Hero mortgages now offer a 75% LTV five-year fix at 5.69% as well as a 75% LTV two-year fix at 5.99%. Both come with a £999 fee and now offer £250 cashback.

As part of the changes, all residential and buy-to-let mortgages, including limited company products, will include a minimum £250 cashback until the end of January 2024.

The new offering comprises both fixed and tracker mortgages – with the exception of Kensington’s Flexi Fixed for Term range – as well as all LTVs, purchase and remortgage products. Cashback will be paid on completion except for Kensington’s eKo £1,000 cashback mortgage, which is paid on qualification in line with standard product terms.

Vicki Harris, chief commercial officer at Kensington Mortgages, commented: “Our decision to offer cashback across all residential and buy-to-let mortgages and reduced rates for our residential products reaffirms Kensington’s commitment to providing greater flexibility for our clients.

"These developments to our offering aim to help more people to realise their aspiration of owning a home and support those looking to remortgage. Over the next twelve months, we look forward to continuing to innovate across our product range and delivering quality service for our clients.”
