Together has made changes to its buy-to-let product range, promising reduced rates, quicker online application for brokers and new products aimed at expats.

Marc Goldberg (pictured), commercial CEO at Together, said: “As a specialist in buy-to-let mortgages, we continually review and update our products to ensure they meet the needs of customers, with processes that are easy-to-use for our broker partners. As well as lowering rates on selected buy-to-let products, we’ve removed valuation banding and improved the online journey for applications, so that brokers have a clear understanding of what’s on offer and can submit cases with ease, to get a swift decision.

“We believe these improvements will help us to expand our buy-to-let business in 2017, in line with our commercial growth strategy.

“We’ve also seen increasing demand for buy-to-let from expats, with some regarding Brexit as an opportunity for investment, so whilst we’ve always catered to niche markets and apply our usual common sense approach, we wanted to set out a dedicated offering for this market.”

The new rates for expats, and those without permanent rights to reside in the UK, are now available at Together’s online portal, My Broker Venue.

Together also recently appointed a commercial buy-to-let manager, Mareeza Mitri, as part of its growth plans for the buy-to-let sector.
