West One cuts buy-to-let lifetime tracker rates

Published on

West One Loans is cutting rates on its buy-to-let lifetime tracker product range.

The largest reduction is on the Lifetime Tracker Standard W1 product range, which has been reduced by 111 basis points to 2.99%. This range tracks bank base rate, currently 0.75%, with a margin of 2.24% and can be used on houses, flats and new build properties.

Rates on the Lifetime Tracker Specialist W1 product range have also been reduced, with a 96 basis point reduction. Rates now start at 3.24% and there has also been a new 80% loan to value product added. The Specialist range is designed to finance more complex transactions such as houses in multiple occupation (HMO) and multi-unit blocks (MUBs).

Andrew Ferguson, managing director of West One Loans’ buy-to-let division, said: “These new reduced rates, combined with our flexible under-writing and quick decision-making will provide a compelling proposition for brokers and their clients.

“While price is a factor, the depth of the West One proposition combined with speed, certainty and expertise is why brokers come to us.

“We underwrite manually so that we can say yes to more deals and we are trusted by intermediaries and property professionals to get the deal done.

“Those investing in rental properties have been increasingly looking for specialist buy-to-let products, and as we specialise in HMOs and MUBs we are well placed to offer finance to both new, and experienced landlords.”
