The intermediary-only lender has also extended product end dates to 31 January.

Accord buy-to-let mortgage manager Simon Garner says: “We’re so pleased to reduce rates on selected products in line with recent reductions in swap rates.

“This demonstrates our commitment to the buy-to-let sector – responding to the market wherever we can to ensure that our products remain as competitive as possible for landlords.”

TSB, meanwhile, has introduced residential three-year fixed products with no fee.

The bank has also reduced five-year and 10-year residential rates by up to 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively.
