Fleet Mortgages, the buy-to-let specialist has launched five-year fixed-rate mortgages, available across its three core product ranges – standard, limited company and HMO/multi-unit block.

The five-year fixed-rates are available at 5.69% for standard and limited company borrowers and 5.89% for HMO and multi-unit block borrowers. They all come with a 5% fee.

These products are the latest in a line of lower rate, higher fee options for landlord borrowers to help them meet the affordability requirements that come with a higher rate environment.

Fleet also announced its current core range pricing has remained the same, however fixed-rate and Green fixed-rate products with percentage fees have been moved from 2% to 3%.

The lender continues to offer both Lifetime Tracker and Green Lifetime Tracker products up to 75% LTV with a fee of 2%.

Green products are available for those borrowers either purchasing or remortgaging a property which has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) level of C and above.

Commenting on the recent fixed rate launches, Fleet Mortgages chief commercial officer Steve Cox says: “Affordability for buy-to-let borrowers remains a significant challenge in this higher rate environment so at Fleet we want to ensure we provide an array of product options which might help advisers and their clients to secure the finance they need”.

He adds: “The launch of these new five-year 70% LTV fixed-rate products, which come with a lower rate and higher fee are designed to do just that, and from previous forays into this space, we know they are proving popular.”
