In the case of the five-year fix with a 75% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio the rate comes down to 5.89%.
The two-year at 75% LTV is down by 0.20% to 5.79% and the three-year at 75% LTV down by 0.15% to 5.79%.
Abbey recently reported that the demand for fixed-rate mortgages has risen sharply over the past six months.
According to the lender, 52% of respondents to its survey said they would take a fixed-rate deal, compared with 35% in February and 47% in July.
