Gen H and Leeds Building Society dominate the top list of providers for borrowers hoping to secure a residential mortgage product this week.

As soon as 2024 commenced, the market has been awash with cuts across the board and with the base rate predicted to fall this year, the trend looks set to continue.

In a week of jostling at the top of the tables, Virgin Money remains the leading provider for first-time buyers.

Using data from Moneyfacts, YourMoney.com takes a look at this week’s best residential mortgage products.

The best remortgage rates

Leeds Building Society boasts the best two-year fix for remortgage borrowers with a deal priced at 4.60%. The offer finances up to 75% loan to value (LTV) and comes with a free valuation incentive to a maximum of £999. Customers will need to pay a £999 fee which can be applied for directly or through intermediaries.
