A latch assembly for use with a window sash sliding mounted with a window frame. The latch includes at least one bolt (18) moveable in a body (10) between a retracted position and a projecting position. In the projecting position the bolt 18 is engageable in cavity in a strike (12). A connecting mechanism in the form of cranks (20) couple the bolt 18 to an operating member (14), which is part of latch furniture (11). A magnetic actuating element (29) and a biasing element (33) are coupled to the bolt (18) whereby when the latch body (10) is disposed relative to a strike (12) in a position where the bolt (18) can engage with the strike (12) a magnetic attraction between a magnetic part (26) of the strike and the magnetic actuating element (29) occurs to draw the bolt (18) into latching engagement with the strike (12).
