Nationwide follows last weeks announcement by Barclays that a new range of mortgages are available.

Nationwide Building Society today announces that it is cutting the price of selected fixed and tracker rate mortgage deals by up to 0.25%.

The announcement comes days after Woolwich, Barclays (LON:BARC) mortgage lending arm, announced that it is making cuts of up to 0.5 percentage points on its fixed and tracker mortgages, as well as its already offset mortgage.

The Nationwide announcement indicates a further sign of strengthening competition in the market.

Today The Royal Institute of Chartered Accountants (RICS) hinted that there were signs that the housing market could be turning around after citing strong figures released by the Bank of England on new mortgage lending.
