Nationwide is the latest big mortgage lender to offer a 3.99% five-year fix

7th Mar 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

Nationwide for Intermediaries is the latest mortgage lender to offer a sub-4% mortgage rate.

Earlier this week the UK's largest building society launched a 3.99% five-year fix specifically for customers looking to remortgage. 

The mortgage is available to borrowers with 40% activity in their property needing to raise between £300,000 and £5 million. There is a £1,499 arrangement fee, and early repayment charges apply. 

Aaron Strutt, product director at Trinity Financial, says: "More lenders have started offering sub 4% fixes, which is a good sign, especially as there were recent rate increases. Some of the 3.99% rates are only available to higher earners.

"Santander has just announced it is withdrawing its 3.99% residential mortgage available for property purchases, remortgages and product transfers. The rate will be pulled at 10 pm on the 3rd March, so there is still time to apply."

Nationwide representative example: A capital and interest mortgage of £400,000 payable over 30 years, initially on a fixed rate basis at 3.99% for five years and then the standard variable rate currently at 7.49% for the remaining 25 years. The 3.99% rate would require 60 monthly repayments of £1,907.36 followed by 300 payments of £2,612.29. The total amount repayable would be £899,707.60 made up of the loan amount, plus interest (£498,128.57) and £1,499 (product fee), £65 (final repayment charge), £15 (completion fee). The overall cost for comparison is 6.2% APRC representative.

Is it a good time to take a 3.99% fixed rate?

With lenders jostling for market share and the cost of funds falling, further reductions look likely, especially as the month-end approaches and banks push to meet lending targets. However, the issue with the mortgage market is that it is difficult to predict exactly what will happen to rates.  

Competition between the banks and building societies is clearly ramping up, and borrowers could be in for even better deals in the weeks ahead. A sub-4% fixed rate offers good value for money. 

Many of our clients opt for two-year fixes, although three and five-year fixes remain popular.

Mortgage fees rise and cashback options reduce: Moneyfacts

5th Mar 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

The average mortgage arrangement fee charged on fixed deals has risen since 2020 with analysis by Moneyfactscompare.co.uk showing the changing landscape of costs and incentives across the fixed mortgage market.
 
Mortgage product fees have risen on average. At £1,129, the average fee currently charged on a fixed rate mortgage deal (not including no-fee products) has risen by £89 since March 2020. While this average fee has fallen by £11 since March 2024, it has been above £1,000 since July 2017.
 
The proportion of the market offering fixed rate mortgage deals that offer a free or refunded valuation incentive has risen to 73%, from 72% at the start of March 2020. While the proportion of the market offering fixed rate mortgage deals that offer a free or refunded legal fees incentive has fallen to 42%, from 49% at the start of March 2020. The proportion of the market offering cashback has dropped by 9% since March 2020.
 
The lenders tend to charge higher arrangement fees when they want to offer slightly cheaper rates, so they have been bumping up the fees to have lower pay rates. There is no doubt borrowers have been calling out for cheaper rates, and by charging higher setup fees, the lenders can offer better deals.
 
Aaron Strutt, product director at Trinity Financial, says: "Some lenders charge higher fees than others, especially on their cheapest deals. The bigger lenders also tend to provide a free basic property valuation.
 
"While some lenders charge £1,499 or £1,999 to access their lowest rates, they also tend to have a choice of £999 fees for their less competitively priced deals. 
 
"Borrowers have to pay slightly more to benefit from the lower monthly repayments with some banks and building societies. A more typical mortgage setup fee is £999, often including a free property valuation."

More landlords are putting properties up for sale despite record number of buy-to-let rates

1st Mar 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

There was a spike in landlords selling their properties at the start of 2025 despite a record number of buy-to-let rates available.

Data on the This is Money website shows the proportion of landlords listing property for sale at the start of this year jumped by almost 50 percent compared to last year. 

In January, 25,049 previously rental homes were listed for sale, according to analysis by property data firm TwentyCi. This represents 17.4 percent of all new listings. The figures also revealed that the number of rental properties sold by landlords to owner occupiers in 2024 was 111,696.

More of Trinity Financial's clients have recently taken limited company buy-to-let mortgages rather than standard buy-to-let mortgages. They are also switching their existing portfolios to limited companies. Aldermore is one of the specialist lenders targeting landlords keen to remortgage property portfolios. 

Many landlords are selling up at a time when there are more buy-to-let rates to choose from. According to data from Moneyfacts, the number of buy-to-let mortgage rates was up 25% in February compared to the same month last year, at 3,560. This is the highest number since Moneyfacts records began in November 2011.

The landlord exodus results from a combination of higher mortgage rates, proposed changes to legislation such as the Renters' Rights Bill and higher taxation.  

Aaron Strutt, product director at Trinity Financial, says: "We constantly get enquiries from people who want to get a buy-to-let property and from landlords who want to refinance their portfolios. Based on the tax changes, it pays to speak to an accountant before purchasing a buy-to-let. For many people, there is not enough profit to be made. Our brokers also speak to first-time buyers purchasing properties from their landlords."

What happened to buy-to-let mortgage rates recently?

Buy-to-let mortgage rates are more competitively priced than they were. More banks and building societies offer higher arrangement fees with lower rates, although there are sensibly priced mortgages with £999 fees.

Capital Home Loans offers a sub-2.7% two-year fixed rate for landlords with a 45% deposit - the catch is that there is a 7% arrangement fee.  HSBC offers a five-year fix priced just over 4% with a £3,999 arrangement fee. 

There are many buy-to-let mortgages to choose from across a range of high street and specialist providers.

How much can I borrow for a mortgage if I earn £75,000 or £100,000?

26th Feb 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

Page updated on 03/03/2025.

The biggest banks and building societies typically lend between four times single and joint salaries up to 5.5 times single and joint incomes. Some smaller or specialist lenders sometimes allow you to borrow up to six times your salary, including with Nationwide's Helping Hand product.

If you are a single applicant with a clear credit history earning at least £75,000, borrowing up to £412,500 may be possible. If you have a partner going onto the mortgage and they earn £75,000, this could increase to £825,000.

With a £100,000 salary, a single applicant could borrow up to £550,000. If a partner earning £100,000 is added to the application, the loan could rise to £1,100,000.

Aaron Strutt, product director at Trinity Financial, says: "The lenders use affordability calculators to determine how much you can borrow, and the maximum loan sizes can vary quite a lot. Some providers are much more generous if you do not have debts like credit cards or loans, while others look more favourably if you are consolidating debts.  

"The strange thing about the mortgage market is how lenders calculate the amount they will lend using different figures. Some use the Office for National Statistics to generate national averages, while others use their figures. Some ignore pension contributions and living expenses, while others will not reduce the loan by such a large amount if you have children or kids in private school."

Smaller building societies offering higher income multiples for a mortgage

Some smaller building societies provide the most generous income multiples in the market, although they typically charge the highest rates. 

Many work on a true affordability basis, provide interest-only options and increase the loan size for certain borrowers. A few lenders provide up to six times the income for higher earners.

NatWest boosts mortgage affordability calculations to offer up to 5.5 times salary

26th Feb 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

NatWest for Intermediaries has boosted its loan-to-income calculations and confirmed it allows borrowers to access up to 5.5x salary mortgages.

Single or joint borrowers earning over £40,000 with a deposit of between 10% and 25% of the property value, could get a loan-to-income of up to five times through NatWest. Applicants earning over £75,000 or £100,000 jointly and borrowing between 10% and 25% of the property value could get an even higher loan-to-income of up to 5.5 times salary.

NatWest head of mortgage Lloyd Cochrane says: “Today’s move means we can support more of our customers to buy a home. It is the first of many improvements we are making this year.

“Whether our customers are looking to buy their first home or move along the property ladder, we are committed to making access to borrowing as inclusive as possible. This move is the latest step in that direction.”

Mortgage loan sizes are generally subject to affordability and credit scoring rules.

Lenders are improving mortgage affordability rules

NatWest is the latest lender to offer more generous loan sizes, after Marsden Building Society and TSB  announced improvements. Loughborough Building Society has just increased its loan-to-value limit so borrowers with a 5% deposit can secure up to 5.5 times income multiple, which they previously required a 15% deposit.

The Intermediary magazine points out there is pressure on lenders to lower loan-to-income criteria after the Bank of England governor said “a public debate” is needed over the trade-off between higher repossessions and more people entering the mortgage market that lower stress tests may bring.

Earlier this week, Nationwide called on the government to review the industry’s loan-to-income mortgage cap to help more first-time buyers onto the property ladder.

Is it normal to be able to borrow 5.5 times salary? 

Many big banks and building societies offer up to 5.5 times salary mortgages to borrowers generally when they are higher earners or working as professionals - like a doctor, dentist or vet.

One of the most generous income multiples is available through Nationwide for Intermediaries. Its Helping Hand product enables some borrowers to raise up to six times their salary when they take a five or ten-year fix.

HSBC launches 3.98% five-year fix mortgage exclusively for higher earners

24th Feb 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

HSBC for Intermediaries has launched two sub-4% residential mortgage rates for higher earners purchasing or remortgaging a property. 

The high street bank offers a 3.98% five-year fix for borrowers purchasing a property when they have a 40% deposit - there is a £999 arrangement fee. HSBC's remortgage five-year fix 0.01% higher and it also has a £999 setup fee. The minimum loan size is £10,000 and the maximum loan size is £2 million. Applicants will need to open a premier account or have an existing premier account to qualify. 

Trinity Financial product and communications director Aaron Strutt says: “Just when we thought it was all over for sub-4% fixes for a while HSBC has undercut its competitors with a 3.98% five-year fix.

“While the rate is really good, it is not going to be as widely available to borrowers because of the high minimum income qualification requirement. To qualify as a premier customer, applicants must have an annual income of at least £100,000 and pay it into an HSBC Premier Bank Account. Or have savings or investments of at least £100,000 with HSBC in the UK.

“The good news is that HSBC’s move shows the lenders can still offer really cheap mortgages despite the ongoing uncertainty driven by inflation and mixed messaging about the number of base rate cuts we will get this year.”

Santander pushed its five-year 3.99% rate last week by 0.07% last week due to rising funding costs and the popularity of the rate. It is still offering a sub-4% two-year fix. 

Barclays for Intermediaries is still offering its sub-4% five-year fix, and there is a selection of lenders offering five-year fixes of around 4.10%.

HSBC representative example: A capital and interest mortgage of £400,000 payable over 30 years, initially on a fixed rate basis at 3.99% until 31/05/2030 and then on the lender's 6.99% standard variable rate for the remaining 25 years. The 3.99% rate would require 62 monthly repayments of £1,903.47 followed by 298 payments of £2,548.46. The total amount repayable would be £878,767.22 made up of the loan amount, plus interest (£479,693.70) and £999 (product fee), £0 (final repayment charge), £17 (completion fee). The overall cost for comparison is 6% APRC representative.

Thisismoney.co.uk - Mortgage fees rise and cashback options disappear: Here's how to work out the cheapest rate for you

5th Mar 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

Mortgage borrowers are paying higher arrangement fees than they were five years ago while cashback deals have declined.

On top of coping with higher interest rates, borrowers face an average fee of £1,129 on fixed rate mortgages, according to rates monitor Moneyfacts.

Aaron Strutt of mortgage broker Trinity Financial added: 'Borrowers need to do their sums to work out if paying the higher fees makes sense. 'That said, many people want the cheapest possible rate to minimise their monthly repayments.'

Mortgage Strategy - Barclays offers 3.96% on green five-year fix deal

3rd Mar 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

Barclays has confirmed from 4 March it is making further reductions to mortgage rates including one to 3.96%.

This rate (previously 3.99%) is offered on the lender’s Green Home five-year fixed, £899 product fee, 60% LTV.

Commenting on the rate changes Trinity Financial product and communications director Aaron Stutt said: “It is great to see Barclays lowering its five-year fix as the move does highlight that there is a real competition between the lenders to attract customers. We may well see other lenders lowering their rates this week.

“Although there does seem to be a catch with many of the lenders offering sub-4% rates where applicants either need to earn over £75,000, be borrowing over £300,000 or have a property with a high energy efficiency rating.”

The i - New sub-4% mortgage hits market - but here's the catch

24th Feb 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

HSBC has launched a new sub-4 per cent mortgage, despite many lenders pulling their best deals. However, there is a catch. Customers looking to take advantage of the five-year fix at 3.98 per cent will need an annual income of £100,000 or over and be a Premier customer with the bank.

Aaron Strutt of brokers Trinity Financial said: “While the rate is really good, it is not going to be as widely available to borrowers because of the high minimum income qualification requirement.

“The good news is that HSBC’s move shows the lenders can still offer really cheap mortgages despite the ongoing uncertainty driven by inflation and mixed messaging about the number of base rate cuts we will get this year.”

The i - Cheapest mortgage rates could 'vanish' after inflation climbs to 3%

19th Feb 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

A bigger-than-expected rise in inflation is likely to put a price war between mortgage lenders on hold, experts have predicted. Inflation rose from 2.5 to 3 per cent, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Wednesday, a bigger jump than economists had forecast.

Aaron Strutt of brokers Trinity Financial told The i: “Clearly, this is not great news and could quite easily mean the predicted reductions to the Bank of England rate may take longer to come through.

“The standard mortgage advice still stands, if you are one the significant number of homeowners who need to remortgage soon, it is a good idea to lock into one of the cheaper rates being offered.”

The Sunday Times - More mortgages for first-time buyers — but rates are still high

16th Feb 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

The number of mortgages for borrowers with a small deposit is near a five-year high, but first-time buyers are still suffering from inflated interest rates.

Aaron Strutt from the mortgage broker Trinity Financial told The Sunday Times: “It is very welcome news that there are more low-deposit mortgages available. There are many people renting or living with their parents who want to buy this year, but don’t think there are options available for them because they don’t have a huge deposit.”

One of the questions asks about working in a male-dominated industry

The mortgage brokerage field is traditionally male-dominated. Have you encountered any biases or stereotypes in your work so far?

There is still a lingering stereotype that the financial services industry is male-dominated, with many women primarily in administrative roles, which can sometimes feel intimidating. However, it’s inspiring to see more women entering the industry, and I’m proud to be part of a supportive networking group called Well Connected Women.

 

£1.5 million remortgage away from private bank to access tracker rate and raise £300,000 for home improvements

26th Jan 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

Trinity Financial recently helped two high net worth clients secure a £1.5 million remortgage. They wanted to raise £300,000 to fund home improvements and access an early repayment charge free tracker rate.

The Italian couple wanted to remortgage away from a well-known private bank with which they had been long-term customers to secure a more competitively priced and flexible rate. They planned to make lump sum overpayments using their bonuses.

They had a grade 2 listed home in Bayswater worth just over £3.75 million and wanted their new mortgage to be on interest-only. The couple required a two-times salary income multiple and already owned a buy-to-let property.

How did we help?

After reviewing the mortgage enquiry, Trinity's broker knew the clients would have a good choice of banks and building societies offering £1 million+ mortgages. She just needed to find the lender with the most attractive terms.

She approached one of the largest mortgage lenders offering leading customer service and some of the most competitively priced Bank of England base rate trackers. The bank recently returned to the flexible variable rate market with a range of trackers without early repayment charges.

How long did it take to get the mortgage agreed?

Trinity’s broker spoke to the bank's large mortgage loan underwriter team, and they approved the application over the phone subject to a satisfactory property valuation. Once our client had provided us with the forms and supporting documentation we needed, the property was valued, and the mortgage offer was produced within a very prompt five working days.

£650,000 remortgage for couple with house built in 1700s raising funds to pay private school fees

6th Jan 2025 • By Aaron Strutt

Trinity Financial recently arranged a £650,000 remortgage for a couple who wanted to raise £250,000 on top of their existing mortgage to pay their three children’s private school fees.

The finance director and marketing professional were coming to the end of their fixed rate with a large bank. They wanted to raise additional funds to pay their private school fees before the additional VAT hike was introduced. 

Did they have a complex situation?

When they asked their existing lender if they could raise the additional funds as part of the rate switch process, they went through a mortgage affordability check. The assessment included the full monthly repayments of the school fees rather than the repayments due after the lump sum was paid, which meant they could not borrow the required amount.

Why did they need our help?

Our clients wanted us to help them secure a new rate while raising the £250,000 using their basic salary plus bonus income. Another issue was that most lenders would not advance the funds for school fees without repaying the balance, even though the remaining amount owed to the private school was relatively small. Their house was built in the 1700s, which is too old for some lenders, especially as more lenders prefer lending to borrowers with energy-efficient homes.

How did Trinity’s broker help?

Trinity’s broker assessed the mortgage market to find a lender willing to offer the full £650,000 with a small balance remaining to be paid for school fees. 

After contacting a long list of lenders, she found one willing to provide the entire loan amount without requiring an Energy Performance Certificate. They asked for a letter from the school to confirm that the school fees could be paid in a lump sum. 

The mortgage offer was produced in under three weeks after the property was valued at £1.25 million.

£700,000 mortgage for first-time buyers with 10% deposit

17th Dec 2024 • By Aaron Strutt

Trinity Financial recently arranged a £700,000 mortgage for two first-time buyers purchasing a £800,000 property.  

The couple had been renting and decided it was a good time to get on the property ladder. After finding a four-bedroom house in London to purchase, they had their offer accepted and needed a fast mortgage. Mainly because they were keen to complete their purchase before the stamp duty deadline.

After finding Trinity's contact details online, they also wanted to get expert mortgage advice.

Did they have a complex situation?

Our clients work in the financial sector, have good salaries, and do not have any debts or children. One of the applicants had settled status as they were German, and they both received bonus income. They required a 4.5 times salary income multiple.

Was the rate particularly good?

Trinity's broker arranged a five-year fixed rate of just over 4.5%. Like many borrowers taking a longer-term fix, they wanted payment security. Our broker amended their rate twice because it came down after the mortgage offer was issued.

Life insurance and income protection 

After assessing our client's existing financial protection policies, which they had arranged directly with a large insurance provider, our specialist broker realised their income protection policy had been set up incorrectly.

After advising our clients to ask for clarification from their insurance provider that it would pay out in the event of a claim, they spotted the error. The provider agreed to refund 12 months' worth of monthly premiums. Our broker then arranged a life insurance and income protection policy to cover them in the event of a death or critical illness.

£350,000 home mover mortgage offered by bank in one minute

15th Dec 2024 • By Aaron Strutt

Trinity Financial recently arranged a super quick £350,000 mortgage using a well-known lender offering competitively priced rates.

Our clients had sold their home and had a large deposit to put towards their new £700,000 property purchase.

Did they have a complex situation?

They are both employed and working in the financial sector. They also received annual bonuses.

They wanted a mortgage lender to offer them a competitively priced rate, as they had a large deposit and did not need an income stretch to meet the affordability rules.

Was the rate particularly good?

Trinity's broker arranged a five-year fixed rate of just over 4.25%. Like many borrowers taking a longer-term fix, they wanted payment security.  

How long did it take to produce the mortgage offer?

Trinity’s broker applied to a bank that recently upgraded its online system, enabling it to provide faster mortgages. In this case, the mortgage offer was produced in less than a minute!

As our clients were considered low-risk, had good incomes, and purchased a property without quirks, the lender produced a fast mortgage offer. It automated the checking process, so our clients' income and credit checks were confirmed online, along with the property valuation. This streamlined the process so a mortgage underwriter did not need to assess it.

Capital raising mortgage to secure funds to finish £1 million self build property

10th Dec 2024 • By Aaron Strutt

Trinity Financial recently arranged a £400,000 mortgage for a client who had just finished building his house.

The property was in a rural location, was worth over £1 million, had an energy performance certificate rating of B, and had two acres of land.

While the house was finished and watertight, our client needed to raise funds to pay for the landscaping. He also wanted to build an outhouse and swimming pool.

Did they have a complex situation?

Our client was employed with strong company accounts, and his income was from his family business. We were using his salary and dividends to prove his income.

As the property was newly built and in a rural location, some lenders felt it would be difficult to sell if they needed to recoup their funds. As the property had a newbuild warranty, some lenders were also not keen to issue a mortgage so quickly as it had just been finished.

Trinity's broker researched the market and found a leading building society happy with our client and the property, particularly as it was at such a low loan-to-value. 

Was the rate particularly good?

After approaching several lenders and finding a suitable provider, Trinity’s broker secured a five-year fixed rate of around 4.25% with a £995 arrangement fee.

How long did it take to produce the mortgage offer?

The mortgage offer was produced within three weeks. The lender's valuer thoroughly inspected the property, and we had to provide the building certificates.

£2 million mortgage for barristers buying new family home

18th Nov 2024 • By Aaron Strutt

Trinity Financial recently arranged a £2 million mortgage for two barristers buying a new family home in Islington. The couple were self-employed and had a £800,000 deposit to put towards the property purchase. 

They worked for a leading London Chamber specialising in commercial, employment, and international law.

Did they have a complex situation?

Our clients had a long track record of self-employed income, which had fluctuated over the years, depending on the number and profile of the cases they worked on. They had a clear credit history and had already sold their existing property to release the equity and fund the onward purchase. 

They needed a five-time salary income multiple and requested a competitively priced two-year rate with the option of making lump sum overpayments. 

How did we help?

Trinity's mortgage adviser researched the market and approached a bank offering the most competitively priced two-year fixed rate. 

The lender offered mortgages up to 5.5 times salary as standard for self-employed borrowers earning over £100,000 taking larger mortgage loans. The bank also allowed up to 10% of the mortgage balance to be overpaid each year without charge.

After submitting the case, the lender offered the required five times salary income multiple and produced a mortgage offer within ten working days.

Was the rate particularly good?

Trinity's broker arranged a two-year fixed rate of just over 5%. Like many borrowers taking a shorter-term fix, they hope to swap to a cheaper deal if rates come down.
