90% LTV two-year fixes have risen to 5.15% with a £995 fee and 5.45% fee-free.

Five-year fixed rates at 80% LTV have risen by 10bps, available from 4.54% with a £1,495 fee and 4.59% with a £995 fee.

90% LTV five-year fixes have also increased by up to 10bps, to 4.80% with a £995 fee and 4.91% fee-free, while a 95% LTV fee-free product is up by 11bps to 5.30%.

NatWest has also increased first-time buyer rates at 85% and 90% LTV by up to 0.10%, reversing the cuts made earlier this week.
