Foundation launches 5-year fix for buy-to-let limited company borrowers

Specialist lender FoundationHome Loans has launched a 5-year fixed rate product only available for buy-to-let limited company applicants.

The 5-year fix is priced at 3.35% up to 75% loan-to-value with a maximum loan available up to £1m and the product comes with a £2,495 product fee with a rental income calculation of 125% at pay rate.

Jeff Knight, director of marketing atFoundationHome Loans, said: “The ongoing move towards greater levels of limited company buy-to-let business is certainly one we are seeing atFoundation. We therefore want to ensure advisers have access to products which will suit the growing number of borrowers seeking purchase and remortgage finance through such vehicles.

“This 3.35% 5-year fix fits neatly into our Tier 1 range and allows us to broaden our offering for those landlord clients seeking longer-term stability for their payments.

“Our recent research showed the appetite and ambition, particularly of portfolio landlords, to purchase more properties via limited companies and the expertise we have atFoundationshould help advisers with such clients to find a product solution which is right for them.”

The mortgage is available as part ofFoundation’s Tier 1 product range, available to those limited company borrowers with a near-perfect credit record, and can be accessed by first-time landlords, non-portfolio and portfolio landlords.

There is no maximum age limit for limited company applicants. It is available through Foundation’s distributor network including all mortgage clubs, networks and key packagers.

Foundationsaid the launch of this product comes off the back of a sizeable increase in its limited company buy-to-let business and a focus on broadening the reach of its proposition particularly focusing on portfolio landlords.

Earlier this month, research conducted byFoundationand BVA BDRC showed that over a half of all landlords intend to buy their next buy-to-let property through a limited company vehicle, rising to seven in 10 for landlords with over 11 properties in a portfolio.
