For small houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs), there is a three-year tracker at 6.85% (BBR plus 2.35%) and a lifetime tracker at 7.10% (BBR plus 2.60%). For large HMOs and MUFBs, the three-year tracker’s rate is 6.95% (BBR plus 2.45%) while the lifetime tracker’s is 7.20% (BBR plus 2.70%).
