James Tucker, CEO of Twentytec says: 

“We’re still seeing whispers of rates decreasing for some, with a slight increase in the average of rates offered in the two-year-fixed free region for first-time buyers. Will this be a sign of things to come? We’ll crunch the numbers and let you know.

“Next week, we’re adding even more personae to our weekly report to give a broader sense of the market.”
