As reported on Monday (20 April), the global banking group may have started a new price war with its five-year fix priced at 1.99 per cent.

The mortgage is available at 60 per cent loan-to-value and has a booking fee of £1,499. Charlotte Nelson, spokesperson for Moneyfacts, confirmed that at the reduction makes it the lowest on record.

Virgin Money also announced a number of changes to its residential mortgage range, including rate reductions of up to 0.45 per cent, on Wednesday. Amongst them was a 3-year fixed rate deal at 65 per cent LTV with an interest rate cut to 1.99 per cent and a £995 fee.
