Nationwide reduces mortgage rates following Bank Rate cut

18 December 2025

Following the 0.25% decrease in the Bank Rate on Thursday 18 December, mortgage customers who are on Nationwide’s Standard Mortgage Rate (SMR) will see a decrease of 0.25%.

The new SMR of 6.49% will come into effect on 1 January 2026.

Rates on tracker mortgages held by existing Nationwide customers automatically decrease when Bank Rate is cut, so these will decrease to reflect the Bank Rate change from 1 January 2026.
