Lender launches new special rates and reduces tracker rates
Specialist lender Kensington Mortgages has announced rate changes on its residential and buy-to-let mortgage ranges.
The lender said it is introducing a new residential loan-to-value (LTV) special rate, with a 65% LTV two-year fixed rate starting at 6.19% and a five-year fix at the same LTV starting at 5.89% – both with a £999 fee.
Purchase customers availing of this offer will also get complimentary valuation and an additional £500 cashback, while remortgage customers will also get the same but with the option of either a £500 cashback or free legals.
These price updates follow Kensington’s introduction of an enhanced large loan offering, from £500,000 to £2 million. The recent addition of a new three-year fixed option also complements the existing two and five-year fixed rate products.
Kensington has also updated its fixed rate specials for buy-to-let investors, with a 70% LTV two-year fix now available at 4.19% and a 75% two-year fix at 4.64%, both with a 5% fee. All fixed rate specials include a complimentary valuation.
The specialist lender is also adding a new two-year variable special rate tracker mortgage to its buy-to-let range, at 75% LTV and a 5.60% rate. The new offering includes a 3% fee in addition to a free valuation.
Across its buy-to-let tracker mortgages, Kensington has reduced rates and included free valuations for all 75% and 80% LTV products. Residential tracker mortgages up to 75% and 80% LTV also all offer a free valuation.
