Dudley BS cuts residential and buy-to-let rates by up to 1.30%

Dudley Building Society has reduced mortgage rates by up to 1.30% across its residential, buy-to-let and specialist lending product suites, with rates now starting at 4.80%.

The updated range includes two and five-year fixed rate products and two-year discount options tailored for owner-occupiers, landlords and specialist borrowers, including those applying under Dudley’s expat and recently launched skilled worker visa criteria.

Residential two-year fixed rates now start from at 4.80% up to 65% LTV, reduced by 0.60%.

Buy-to-let five-year fixed rates are down by up to 0.70%, starting from 5.10% up to 70% LTV, with expat rates from 5.15%.

A two-year fix at 80% LTV for borrowers with a skilled worker visa has reduced by 0.55% to 4.90%.

As part of the changes, Dudley has aligned a number of its five-year fixed products to new end dates of 30th April 2031, while also updating ERC structures across the range. All five-year fixes feature a stepped ERC profile of 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 1%, while two-year fixes and discounts include ERCs of 3%, 2% and 2%, 1% respectively.

Paul Purewal, head of intermediary relations at Dudley Building Society, said: “This refresh is about making life easier for brokers at the point of placement. We have focused on areas where pricing could be sharpened, while also bringing more consistency across end dates and product structures.

“What we hear time and again is that clarity matters just as much as rate. By keeping the range straightforward and aligned, brokers can spend less time explaining the detail and more time supporting their clients, whether they are placing a core case or something more specialist.”
