The lender has also reduced its standard valuation and homebuyers fees to offer greater support to those taking out buy-to-let mortgages.

It said, for landlords who already have experience in the buy-to-let market, aggregate lending limits had been increased from £1 million to £3 million.

In addition, the total number of buy-to-let mortgages a borrower can have with the lender has changed from three to five and the total maximum portfolio size has increased from 15 to no limit, although a maximum of 10 still applies for mortgaged properties.

As part of the change, which is effective immediately, standard buy-to-let valuation and homebuyers fees have been reduced in line with Accord’s residential fee structure for greater simplicity.

Nicola Alvarez, corporate account manager – propositions, said: “Supporting landlords throughout the pandemic has been a real priority for us and so we have made the decision to simplify the fee structure by reducing standard valuation and homebuyers fees to align with our residential offering.

“We’ve also made changes to our lending limits for established landlords, offering them more flexibility to manage their property portfolios. We hope by increasing the range of options available, we can help support more brokers and their landlord clients.”
