Craig Calder, director of Barclays Mortgages, said: “Christmas is almost upon us and we want to help households and landlords save money during this typically expensive time of the year with the launch of some of Barclays lowest residential remortgage rates.

“Homebuyers seeking a short to medium fixed rate term can choose a 2 or 5-year fixed rate available with either a 75% or 80% LTV with no product fee, £250 cashback and free valuations on properties up to £2m.

“Landlords will also be able to reduce their monthly outgoings too with reductions to our buy-to-let range

“In addition to these rate reductions, customers will achieve further savings by benefitting from free standard legal work for those choosing to remortgage.”
