All five-year products are calculated at ICR payrate —including HMO/MUFB — and ERCs are 3/2% on two-year fixed rates and 5/4/3/2/1% on five-year fixed rates. 

Rental income for these products starts from 125% of the monthly mortgage payment and they are applicable for purchase or re-mortgage purposes.

Ross Turrell, commercial director at CHL Mortgages, said: “The specialist BTL marketplace continues to see sustained levels of interest and enquiries from investors, developers and landlords who are looking to take advantage of rising tenant demand and a highly competitive lending environment. 

“This means that lenders need to constantly evaluate their product offerings to meet their ever-shifting needs.

“We expect these positive changes to be welcomed by our growing distribution panel and these will attract even more business to bolster what has been a hugely encouraging first six months back in the specialist BTL lending arena.”
