TSB, Together, Santander and Skipton trim selected mortgage rates as May repricing wave extends
TSB and Together cut selected fixed-rate mortgages on 22 May, joining Santander's reductions of up to 27 basis points and Skipton's 14bps average trim earlier the same week. These are individual lenders trimming margins where competition is sharpest — not a wholesale repricing on cheaper funding. For buyers and remortgagers, headline pricing eases modestly on selected deals. The caveat: swap rates remain volatile and gains could reverse if energy or inflation data surprise upward.
