Its two-year fixed up to 50% LTV with no arrangement fee comes in at 2.44%, and its five-year fixed at 50% LTV with £1,995 arrangement fee at 2.14%. TMW is also extending the end dates across all New Business products.

Elsewhere, Principality has also refreshed its product range in both residential and buy to let sectors.
