You and your clients could enjoy a variety of benefits with our BTL mortgages whether you’re looking for a choice of LTVs or competitive fees, our BTL range includes:

Valuation instruction from day one: we instruct a valuation immediately (on receipt of all applicable fees) to encourage a swift sales process and help get their mortgage moving.

Standard valuation: you could save your clients money with one standard mortgage valuation (up to the value of £700) which may be included for purchase and remortgage.

Remortgage Transfer Service: you and your clients can also enjoy the added convenience our Remortgage Transfer Service brings. Your clients may be able to take advantage of this quick and easy service when they transfer their existing mortgage to a new product with us.

Varied product range: including flexible products that could offer your clients the ability to make overpayments without incurring ERCs (unlimited overpayments on Flexx products).

Portability: your clients may be able to move their mortgage to a different property. We’ll transfer their current interest rate terms, and other scheme terms, over to their new property subject to lending policy.

Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR): our tiered ICR proposition means we can help your clients no matter what their earned income is. We have two ICR rates, 125% for those earning less than £49,000 (£42,500 if resident in Scotland) and are a non-taxpayer or a basic rate (starter or intermediate rate in Scotland), and 145% for those earning £49,000 (£42,500 if resident in Scotland) or more, or are a higher or additional rate (top rate in Scotland). No minimum income or minimum time in employment requirements.
