John Charcol mortgage technical manager Nicholas Mendes says: “This week is starting to feel like the last push for lenders to secure the remaining opportunities before the winter break.   

“Over the next fortnight expect to see lenders reprice one last time before they turn their attention towards the new year.  

“The past week has seen a raft of repricing from high street lenders and building societies, with the latest notice coming from Coventry Building Society.  

“Given how competitively Coventry Building Society is priced among the best buys tables, the latest reprice could be the moment we see another sub 4.5% alongside Nationwide’s.”
