The lender’s maximum loan-to-value (LTV) has also recently increased to 75%, and the firm has reintroduced the 10% overpayment allowance on all UK BTL mortgages.

This follows the news that Skipton International’s BTL remortgage applications are currently being offered on a fee-free basis, which equates to the applicant benefitting from no application, product or legal fees, although the client will be required to pay a valuation fee.

The offer is available on any remortgage application.

Roger Hughes, business development manager at Skipton International said: “With strong demand from overseas residents for UK buy-to-let mortgages, we are always looking for opportunities to make our mortgage proposition more attractive.

“This offer helps us be one of the most competitive players in the UK buy-to-let market.”
