Press Release Summary: As competition appears to be back in the market this week,
the High Street lenders have decided to cut down their rates. Most of the reputed
companies have decided to cut the cost of home loans like Halifax and Bank of
Scotland. They all are fighting with each other by cutting down their rates, in
order to attract more number of people to apply for the loan.

Press Release Body: This week High Street lenders have decided a round of rate cuts,
as competition emerges to be back in the market.

RBS and NatWest have declared that the interest rates should be down to at least
0.10% on their fixed and tracker mortgages, while rates on some other deals have
decreased to 0.30%.

Abbey is planning to attract new buyers by decreasing its two and three years fixed
and tracker rates to 0.1%.

The bank, which has just surpassed Halifax as the UK's important supplier of new
mortgages, made similar cuts last week.

The most competitive two year tracker mortgage has now emerged with an interest rate
of 5.89% while a two year fix rate decreased to 6.19%. A fee is applied in both the
cases.

Also this week, Halifax has cut the cost of 30 home loans by reducing the interest
rate on a two year fixed rate by 0.38 per cent. Its rival company, Bank of Scotland
also decided to cut down the rates on 36 deals by up to 0.7%.

In related news, a recent survey conducted by Abbey reveals that a significant
number of homeowners are in doubtful stage about the future track of interest rates.

Forty percent of the surveyed questions revealed that if the people opt for a loan
before the Bank of England's base rate review this week, then it would puzzle them
over whether to apply for a fixed rate or tracker mortgage.
