CHL Mortgages cuts five-year fixed rates

Published on

CHL Mortgages has reduced rates across its whole five-year fixed range with rates now starting from 5.94%.

The lender has also expanded the fee options available to landlords, with a newly introduced 7% fee option available up to 70% LTV. A 5% fee option also remains available up to 70% LTV, whilst the 2% and 3% fee alternatives are available up to 75% LTV.

In the Core product range Individual and Limited Company/LLP rates now start from 5.94%, HMO/MUFB rates from 5.99% and short-term lets products from 6.49%. Products in the refurbishment range now start from 5.99%.

All five-year fixed rate products are calculated at ICR pay rate. For applications which include a combination of additional-rate/higher-rate/basic-rate payers, the lender will also consider a ‘blended ICR’ approach to determine loan affordability based on each borrower’s tax status and their personal share of ownership/rent to help maximise ICR affordability for its landlord clients.
