It now offers products with fee options of 2%, 3.5%, 5%, and 7%
Specialist buy-to-let lender CHL Mortgages has expanded its product offerings by introducing a new 3.5% product fee option available across all loan-to-value (LTV) bands.
The lender now offers products with fee options of 2%, 3.5%, 5%, and 7%, and LTV bandings of 55%, 65%, 70%, and 75%.
The interest rates begin at 3.20% for standard buy-to-let mortgages and 3.22% for houses in multiple occupation (HMO) and multi-unit freehold block (MUFB) products. These rates apply to two-year fixed products up to 55% LTV with a 7% product fee.
Five-year fixed products are also available, starting at 4.55% for standard buy-to-let and 4.62% for HMO and MUFB products.
For income coverage ratio (ICR) calculations, the five-year fixed products use the pay rate, while the two-year fixed products use either 5.5% or the pay rate plus 2%, whichever is higher.
Earlier this year, CHL implemented changes to its product offering, reintroducing more options and reducing rates on some of its buy-to-let products.
“The roller coaster of swap rates continues with the five-year fixed swap once again breaching 4%,” said Ross Turrell (pictured), commercial director at CHL Mortgages. “With pressure on the ICR calculation, we are seeing more demand for subsidised lower rates and have broadened our range with a mid-point fee option.”
