The HMO and MUB products have a rate of 3.50% on a two-year fixed term, and 3.75% on a five-year fixed rate.

Landlords financing enhancements to SSCs will be charged an initial rate of 3.35% on the two-year product, rising to 3.70% with the five-year fix.

The two-year mortgages are subject to a 3% ERC, and the five-year product has an ERC of 5% in years one and two, 4% in years three and four and 3% in year five.
