CHL Mortgages Reduces BTL Rates

CHL Mortgages, the intermediary-only specialist buy-to-let lender, has reduced rates across its entire product range catering for individuals, limited companies and HMOs/MUFBs.

Rates now start from 2.88 per cent on the lenders’ two-year fixed rate buy-to-let product range (up to 65 per cent LTV) and from 3.05 per cent (up to 75 per cent LTV). Both are available on its individual and limited company offerings and a 1.5 per cent arrangement fee applies. 

Five-year fixed rates also start at 2.88 per cent (up to 65 per cent LTV) and 2.98 per cent (up to 75 per cent LTV). Again, both are available for individual and limited company, a 2 per cent arrangement fee applies and calculated ICR at payrate.
