West One makes raft of buy-to-let changes

Published on

West One Loans’ buy-to-let division has unveiled a series of product and criteria changes, including reduced rates on its new Green product range and new Limited Edition loans.

Changes include reduced rates on two and five-year fixed rate loans in the Green product range. At 65% LTV, rates now start from 2.99% for a two-year fixed (previously 3.04%), and come with a 1.25% product fee.

There are also new limited edition large loan products for standard and HMO properties. These start from 3.07% for a five-year fixed rate with a 1.5% product fee, and are available for loan sizes of £350,000 to £1m on standard property types.

West One has also launched a new Limited Edition large loan for HMOs and MUFBs with up to six bedrooms. This is a five-year fixed rate product at 3.38% with a 1.75% product fee and is available for loan sizes of £350k to £1m.

In addition to the new product and rate changes, West One has also adjusted its criteria. It will now consider new build properties at up to 75% LTV, previously 70%, without prior referral.

Andrew Ferguson, managing director for West One Loans buy-to-let division, said: “These new products and rate changes support our aspiration to become the ‘go-to option’ for brokers in the buy-to-let arena.

“Our continued focus on service delivery and common-sense underwriting, aligned with these product changes, mean we are well placed to support our broker partners and their landlord clients as we move towards the end of the year.”

In addition to the product enhancements, West One is launching more sustainable products across its portfolio in the coming months as part of its ‘Funding the Future’ initiative.
