CHL Mortgages improves product proposition

Published on

CHL Mortgages has reduced two and five-year fixed rates products across its Core and Refurbishment buy-to-let ranges and has reintroduced 75% LTV options on its five-year fixed rate and three-year tracker products.

The lender has also added further product fee options to the five-year fixed product range, including a fixed fee of £1,999 (available to maximum loan sizes of £200,000) as well as 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% options to enhance its Core range (Individual, Limited companies/LLP, Small and Large HMO/MUFB and Short-Term-lets).

In addition, the lender has introduced three-year tracker products across its Core range, with the 75% LTV option carrying a 2% product fee, with rates starting from 5.94% (BBR + 2.44%). 70% LTV products are offered with a 3% product fee, with rates starting from 5.53% (BBR+2.03%). Both products have ERC percentages of 3/2/1.

CHL Mortgages has also reduced rates on its Refurbishment product range (Cosmetic Improvement, Light Refurbishment, and EPC Improvement) by up to 0.15 percentage points.

Two-year fixed rates in this range now start from 6.15% with an ERC percentage of 3/2, while the five-year fixed rates now start from 6.18% with an ERC percentage of 5/4/3/2/1. All Refurbishment Range products are available up to 70% LTV with a 3% product fee.

For applications which include a combination of Additional-rate/Higher-rate/Basic-rate payers, the lender has also introduced a ‘blended ICR’ approach to determine loan affordability based on each borrower’s tax status and their personal share of ownership/rent.

Ross Turrell (pictured), commercial director at CHL Mortgages, said: “As the market continues to stabilise, we are pleased to be able to support our intermediary partners by offering lower interest rates and creating additional product fee options.

“We are committed to providing alternative options to help secure the maximum possible advance for their landlord clients with our multiple fee options and blended ICR approach.”
