Fleet Mortgages has announced the launch of a new range of products, available up to 55% LTV, for standard, limited company and HMO/multi-unit block landlord borrowers.

The new five-year fixed-rate products, available up to 55% LTV, are:

• Standard/limited company – a 4.79% mortgage with a 3% fee (minimum of £750) and a 5.34% mortgage with a fixed £999 fee.
• HMO/multi-unit block – a 5.19% mortgage with a 3% fee (minimum of £750) and a 5.74% mortgage with a fixed £999 fee.

The standard and limited company products come with a free valuation for properties up to a value of £500k, with a minimum loan of £25k, and a maximum loan of £750k on the fixed-fee products.

The buy-to-let specialist lender claimed the launch of these new 55% LTV positioned it as a market-leader within this specific lower LTV segment, and would potentially offer a competitive alternative for landlord borrowers who might otherwise be considering a product transfer with their existing lender.

Steve Cox, chief commercial officer at Fleet Mortgages, said: “Last year we were able to successfully launch a range of 65% LTV products, and we have followed this up with a lower LTV segment offering, with new products at 55% LTV across all three of our core offerings – standard, limited company and HMO/MUB.

“For existing landlord borrowers in particular, who have potentially benefited from increased house price inflation over the medium to long-term allowing them to build up equity, these lower LTV options come with highly competitive pricing, two different fee/rate options, and might well be seen as an alternative remortgage option, rather than just accepting a PT from the existing lender.

“One of the key areas that we focus on at Fleet is providing a greater array of product options for borrowers coming to the end of their existing deals, and these new 55% LTV mortgages help us broaden the product proposition in this area.”
