Barclays is slashing mortgage rates by as much as 40 basis points, with the new pricing taking effect on Wednesday.
The move comes after the Bank of England raised the base rate from 3.75 per cent to four per cent.
The Barclays reductions apply across a range of products for homebuyers, remortgage customers and existing borrowers selecting a new deal.
Rates vary depending on the loan-to-value ratio, fixed term length and product fee.
Among the most significant reductions is a five-year fixed remortgage deal at 85 per cent loan-to-value, which drops from 5.74 per cent to 5.34 per cent. That product comes with a £999 fee.
For homebuyers, the fee-free five-year fix at 90 per cent loan-to-value drops from 5.63 per cent to 5.28 per cent. The maximum loan is £640,000.
Green Home purchase deals are also being reduced. The five-year fix at 60 per cent loan-to-value falls from 4.89 per cent to 4.82 per cent, with an £899 fee.
However, not every rate is falling. The Premier two-year tracker for purchases at 60 per cent loan-to-value rises from 4.24 per cent to 4.37 per cent, with a £999 fee.
Two new remortgage products are being introduced: a two-year fix at 5.20 per cent for borrowing up to 75 per cent of the property’s value, and a 5.39 per cent deal at 90 per cent. Both carry a £999 fee.
