Fleet Mortgages has made a 15 bps price cuts to a variety of 2- and 5-year fixed-rates across its three core ranges: standard, limited company and HMO/Multi-Unit Freehold Block (MUFB).
Steve Cox, chief commercial officer at Fleet Mortgages, said: “Market rate movements in recent weeks have been trending downwards in anticipation of future cuts by the Bank of England. Last week’s UK inflation figures appear to cement that trend which may well see action being taken at next month’s MPC meeting.
“Given these movements and the strength of our funding model, Fleet is able to make today’s announcement and we are very pleased to be cutting rates by 15 basis points across a wide variety of both 65% and 75% LTV two- and five-year fixes, with different fee structures – percentage-based, fixed-fee and some with no completion fees at all.”
PAYMENT CERTAINTY
He added: “There will always be a strong cohort of landlord borrowers who want monthly mortgage payment certainty, and the only way they can secure this is via a fixed-rate mortgage, whether two- or five-year.
“These new rates are highly competitive and should allow advisers to present a positive mortgage picture to their landlord borrower clients, and to help them either fund a new purchase or refinance their current deals to secure their portfolio ambitions over the next two- or five-year period.”
