Halifax and HSBC for Intermediaries have lowered the price of their already unbelievably low two-year fixed-rate mortgages. 

Halifax is offering the cheapest ever headline fixed-rate mortgage priced at 0.83% until 31.12.23, and it has a £1,499 arrangement fee. Applicants will need a 40% deposit to qualify and borrow between £250,000 and £1 million. The mortgage reverts to the lenders 3.59% standard variable rate, and the APRC is 3.2%.
