The rate cut, which goes up to 0.30%, covers various term lengths and loan-to-value (LTV) options. For individual landlords, TMW offers several new rate choices. First, there is a 2-year fixed rate at 3.69% with a 65% LTV, allowing landlords to benefit from lower interest rates and reduced repayment pressure. Second, there is a 5-year fixed rate at 4.04%, also with a 65% LTV, suitable for those seeking to lock in the current low rates over a longer term. Additionally, there is a 5-year fixed transition rate at 4.14% for a 75% LTV. All these options require a 3% fee.
For corporate landlords, TMW provides slightly different rates, typically with a premium. The 2-year fixed rate is 4.99% for up to 75% LTV, with a 3% fee. Although this rate is higher compared to individual landlords, it remains competitive. Additionally, there is a 2-year fixed rate option at 5.69% for a 75% LTV, with a fee of £3,995. For those wishing to lock in a short-term rate, there is a 2-year fixed transition rate at 6.49% for a 75% LTV.
