The range is available to eligible special purpose vehicle (SPV) limited companies across England, Scotland and Wales, covering standard BTL, holiday let and specialist property types.
The mutual will consider houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit freehold block (MUFB) properties, as well as standard rental properties and holiday accommodation.
Furness Building Society has also made the range available to first-time landlords with no minimum experience required. Further, there is no minimum personal income requirement, and affordability will be assessed using an interest coverage ratio (ICR) model based on rental income.
All applications are subject to the mutual’s lending criteria, valuation and underwriting assessment.
Brokers will also have access to business development managers (BDMs) who can review cases before a full mortgage application is submitted.
Jonathan Cartlidge, head of member and broker strategy at Furness Building Society, said: “Brokers are increasingly supporting landlords who choose to invest through limited companies, and we want to give them more options when finding the right mortgage solution for their clients.
By introducing limited company BTL mortgages, we’re expanding our offering to support a wider range of property investors, including those taking their first steps into the rental market.
“Our approach combines flexible lending criteria with the personal service brokers expect from Furness. Whether it’s a straightforward application or a case that needs a closer look, our team is here to understand the details and help brokers explore the options available.”
Fleet Mortgages has reduced pricing across its five-year fixes by 0.2%, applied to products with either a 3% or 5% fee.
The reductions cover standard, limited company, HMO and MUFB products up to 75% loan to value (LTV).
Fleet Mortgages’ recently launched five-year fixes with 5% fees for standard and limited company products have been cut from 5.24% to 5.04%, and the HMO/MUFB product has been reduced from 5.49% to 5.29%.
Across its deals with a 3% fee, including options for properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating between A and C, standard and limited company rates have been cut from 5.64% to 5.44% and EPC E-C rates from 5.54% to 5.34%.
HMO rates have been cut from 5.89% to 5.69%, and from 5.79% to 5.59% for properties rated A-C.
The lender said the lower headline rates available across deals with a 5% fee could help landlords meet ICR requirements where rental income and affordability may be restrictive.
Steve Cox, chief commercial officer at Fleet Mortgages, said: “Rates have been on everyone’s mind in recent weeks and months, particularly given last week’s decision to increase bank base rate (BBR). However, as we know, product pricing doesn’t have to follow BBR trends, and it is clearly positive for us to be able to announce rate cuts today.”
He added that he was pleased to reduce pricing on the five-year fixes with a 5% fee, just a week after the products were launched.
Cox added: “While interest rates and funding costs continue to be subject to change, we are always looking for opportunities to improve our pricing where possible, and these reductions demonstrate our commitment to passing on those improvements to borrowers.”
Landbay has also reduced five-year fixed rates across its core and core automated valuation model (AVM) ranges, impacting 37 deals.
