NatWest launches intermediary portfolio

The range will see all fixed rates reduced as well as some table-topping buy-to-let deals and excellent first-time-buyer products. This is a further move to cement NatWest's commitment to offering great mortgage deals via the broker channel.

As the buy to let market continues to thrive, the new NatWest Buy to Let (BTL) products will include a best in class 2-year Base Rate Tracker, with up 80% LTV and rate of base rate plus 0.79%. The BTL fixed rates have also been dropped with the 2-year down to 5.15% and the 5-year down to 5.49%.

With predictions that there are in excess of 360,000 - 430,000 first time buyers in the market each year, NatWest is leading the pack with great enhanced First Time Buyer (FTB) products that will prove helpful for those trying to get a foot on the property ladder. The new NatWest 'FTB only' mortgages are the only ones on the market that offer no fees and cash back. The 2-year fixed at a rate of 5.29% is fees assisted and comes with £200 cashback. Similarly, the 3-year fixed has a rate of 5.39%, is fees assisted and gives 1% cash back.

Charles Haresnape, director of mortgage sales for NatWest, said: "Once again, we are pleased to be able to enhance our mortgage product portfolio for our intermediary partners. At NatWest, we realise that it is more important than ever to support brokers in being able to offer attractive deals that will meet the varying needs of their clients."
