Higher LTVs are available, with 70% LTV products starting from 3.15% (Standard Buy-to-Let) and 3.17% (Small HMO/MUFB). 75% LTV options start from 4.34% (Standard Buy-to-Let) and 4.35% (Small HMO/MUFB).

Ross Turrell, Commercial Director, CHL Mortgages, commented:

“With 5-year swap rates improving on the back of better global inflation forecasts we are pleased to bring in some welcome rate reductions for the hard-pressed Buy-to -Let sector. This along with a steady increase in rents will see the affordability calculations start to go back into equilibrium.”
