NatWest has announced it is cutting rates on a number of mortgage deals after inflation fell to its lowest level in more than two years.

Some remortgage offers will decrease by up to 24 basis points , it added. However, selected two-year tracker deals will rise by up to 40 basis points .

'It's great to see NatWest wheel out the first of hopefully many lender rate reductions this week following the better than expected inflation data this morning.
