NatWest
National Westminster Bank was acquired in a hostile takeover in 2000 by the RBS Group – the largest takeover in UK banking history.
But despite the takeover, NatWest has been able to keep its individual products and brand. And its mortgages are certainly popular: NatWest has just won Your Mortgage magazine's "Best Bank For Mortgages" award for the fourteenth time!
Its broad product range includes Lifetime Mortgages (for over-60s), Spanish property mortgages and Bridging Loans – around 40 different deals in all.
If you need advice on NatWest or any other mortgages, you can use our enquiry form at any time to speak to an unbiased mortgage adviser.
About NatWest's mortgage range
There are forty different mortgages currently offered by NatWest, broken down into the following types:
- Fixed Rate mortgages, from 5.99% (if you've got 25% deposit)
- Flexible, offset mortgages (see below)
- Buy to let mortgage, from 7.34% (on up to ten properties)
- Spanish mortgages, Equity Release, and Bridging Loans (more complicated so you'd need to give them a call!)
If you're a Private Banking customer already, you can get a small reduction on the normal interest rates.
The Flexible Offset mortgage is NatWest's way of combining your banking, saving and mortgage borrowings in one 'pot'. NatWest's deal also offers features such as over- and under-payment options. It can be structured several different ways, involving Private Banking or just savings or a combination of the lot. For this type of deal it's best to get good advice first though, to ensure you really will save interest in the long run.
