The property finance marketplace has increased its definitions of both small HMOs — from up to six bedrooms to eight— and large HMOs, from nine bedrooms to 15.
For large HMOs and MUFBs, the maximum loan size has increased to £3m, while the definition of a MUFB has changed from up to six units to up to 10.
A large loan range has also been introduced for standard properties and small HMOs, with products available for up to £2m at a maximum of 70% LTV.
LendInvest’s BTL customers will now receive a £500 cashback contribution towards legal fees when they take out a five-year fixed BTL mortgage for standard property types on products up to 75% LTV.

Ian Boden, sales director at LendInvest (pictured above), said: “After a fantastic 2019 for our BTL product, we are excited to be hitting the ground running this year with a broadening of our product criteria.
“Ever eager to increase the flexibility of our product, we are confident these changes will put us in good stead for a busy 2020; and look forward to further increasing our loan volumes in the coming months.”
