BTL tracker launches and rate cuts boost lending competition

Landbay has expanded its buy to let (BTL) range with the launch of new tracker and fixed products, as lenders continue repricing in response to interest rate expectations.

The lender has introduced two two-year trackers alongside two zero fee five-year fixed deals within its Premier range, which is aimed at landlords holding up to 15 properties.

The products are open to both individual and limited company borrowers and sit among the firm’s core standard offerings.

Both tracker options are available up to 75% LTV and come without early repayment charges.

A two-year tracker for purchases and remortgages, plus a like-for-like remortgage product, are priced at Bank Base Rate plus 0.34%, currently 4.09%, with 3% fees attached.

Landlords expecting rate cuts

Landbay said the trackers are likely to appeal to borrowers anticipating further reductions in the base rate.

Alongside the trackers, the lender has rolled out two five-year fixed products with no upfront fees.

A 5.09% option is available for purchases and remortgages, while a remortgage-only alternative is priced at 5.14% and includes a free valuation.

Landbay’s sales and distribution director, Rob Stanton, said: “Our new two-year trackers are designed for landlords who want to see the full benefit of any base rate cuts if or when they happen.

“With no early repayment charges, they also give advisers and their clients flexibility to move to a fix if the rate outlook changes.”

Kensington eKo mortgage rate

Kensington Mortgages has reduced pricing across its eKo mortgage line while also cutting selected buy to let rates.

The lender has withdrawn its £500 cashback incentive and replaced it with lower headline pricing on chosen products.

Its refreshed eKo range is available up to 75% LTV and includes free valuations.

Two-year fixed options now start at 4.74% with a £1,499 fee, 4.51% with a £4,000 fee, 3.69% with a 3% fee and 5.18% with no fee.

Precise lowers bridging rates

Meanwhile, Precise has implemented a 5 bps reduction across its regulated bridging suite.

The changes apply to standard bridging loans as well as light and heavy refurbishment products, with rates now starting from 0.57%.

The lender says the move forms part of a broader repricing exercise across short-term funding lines.
