The dedicated BTL lender was formally launched just before Christmas by Computershare Loan Services.

Zephyr is accepting both individual and limited company applications with rates starting from 2.69%.

Connect also revealed that it had become a packager for fellow specialist BTL lender Fleet Mortgages.

The distributor said its whole-of-market placement desk would help brokers to place mortgages with these lenders to ensure that they could provide their clients with the best rates and terms available.

“The buy-to-let market is still buoyant both for purchase and remortgage and these new rates and terms will be a welcome addition to landlords, be they individual landlords, landlords with a portfolio of properties or those who hold properties in a limited company,” said Liz Syms, CEO at Connect for Intermediaries (pictured above).

“Both lenders will be a welcome addition to every broker with buy-to-let clients and our specialist market placement desk is available to help them take advantage of this.”

Peter Charge, head of sales at Zephyr Homeloans, said it was delighted to be working with Connect.

“[It has] extensive knowledge of the specialist buy-to-let market and we look forward to developing a strong relationship with them going forward as we grow the Zephyr Homeloans brand.”
