Aldermore has cut its mortgage rates and reintroduced 95% mortgages for first-time buyers with a 5% deposit.

The specialist lender is chopping rates across its owner occupier products for both new business and existing borrowers switching their mortgage.

The lender has brought back 95% mortgages for first-time buyers, with rates from 7.49%.

Those with a 20% deposit can borrow up to 80% of the property’s value with rates from 5.79% – a reduction of 0.2 percentage points.

Borrowers with 25% can benefit from fixed rates from 5.54%, which have been cut by 0.1 percentage point.

The lender is also offering two- and three-year fixed rates with a discounted reversion rate up to 80% loan-to-value, which are also on offer to those with minor credit blips.

“We’re especially pleased to relaunch into the 95% LTV market, offering compelling options for first time buyers as they seek to get onto the property ladder for the first time in 2025.”
