Kensington cuts residential rates by up to 0.50%

Kensington Mortgages has lowered rates across its residential mortgage range. 

Rates across Kensington’s Select range – including its Heroes, Professional, eKo, and Own New Rate Reducer products – have been cut by up to 0.24%. The change applies to Kensington’s two-year and five-year fixed term rates across products from 80% to 95% LTV. 

Kensington now offers two-year 90% LTV rates at 5.56% with a £1,999 fee, five-year 90% LTV rates from 5.72% with a £1,499 fee, two-year 95% LTV rates from 5.81% with a £1,999 fee, and five-year 95% LTV rates from 6.02% with a £1,499 fee. 

Other new rates include 95% LTV products at 6.59% fixed for two years and 6.30% fixed for five years, both of which include no fee and £1,000 cashback. All Kensington’s 95% LTV products also come with a free valuation and are for purchase only. 

Separately, for Kensington’s Right to Buy products, its two-year fixed rate has been reduced by 0.50% and five-year fixed rate by 0.15%.
