Fleet Mortgages revamps product range based on broker feedback

25 September 2015

Fleet Mortgages, the buy-to-let and specialist lender, has today (25th September 2015) revamped its entire product range as a result of positive feedback from its intermediary partners.

The new range is a complete overhaul of products for standard, limited company and HMO buy-to-let borrowers. Due to the uniqueness of Fleet Mortgages’ funding model, it has accessed a limited tranche of lower-priced funds which it is able to pass directly on to its borrowers.

Highlights of the new product range include:

Sub-3%, two-year 65% LTV fixed-rate option at 2.89% with a £500 completion fee.
Sub-3%, two-year 75% LTV fixed rate option at 2.99% with a 1% completion fee.
Lifetime tracker at 3.99% for standard buy-to-let at 65% LTV with the rental calculation based on pay rate, with a 1% completion fee.
Five-year fixed rate at 4.09% standard buy-to-let 65% LTV with the rental calculation based on pay rate, with a 1% completion fee.
Two-year fixed rate limited company product at 4.39% up to 75% LTV with £750 completion fee.
Five-year fixed rate limited company product at 4.79% up to 75% LTV with the rental calculation based on pay rate, with a 1.5% completion fee.

All 36 new products are available to view by visiting Fleet Mortgages’ website at: www.fleetmortgages.co.uk/products-p-9.html

Fleet Mortgages only deal with the intermediary market and although its products are tailored towards experienced landlords and property investors, it also offers a full range for standard buy-to-let borrowers. It covers mainstream buy-to-let residential mortgages as well as finance for those investing through limited company vehicles and houses in multiple occupation.

Bob Young, Chief Executive Officer of Fleet Mortgages, commented:

“It has been a very busy few months and the temptation might have been to continue with our existing product range at this stage. However, having listened closely to ongoing feedback from our intermediary partners, particularly with regard to our recent lower completion fee products and those with rental calculations based on pay rate, we felt it was important to respond positively by expanding, enhancing and adding to our range, specifically in those areas. Our new products are for any landlord in the buy-to-let sector whether standard, limited company or HMO investor. With the recent announcement on mortgage payment tax relief it seems that more landlords will be looking to use a limited company vehicle and our bolstered range in this area is a response to this.

“Overall, it’s a real positive to become even more competitive with our pricing, cutting rates across all three standard, limited company and HMO areas. This is possible due to the unique way Fleet Mortgages is funded allowing us to pass on lower prices to our borrowers via intermediaries. Service remains key to our proposition and we remain completely focused on quality delivery in this area with service levels some lenders can only dream of. Other lenders have been slow to follow our lead, for instance, we have always instructed valuers at the application stage which means we can move from application to valuation in typically five days. We should point out that this tranche of funds is limited and will sell on a ‘first come, first served’ basis so we would urge intermediaries to contact us now in order to make sure their clients don’t miss out.”
