In addition, rates for the 5-year fixed term BTL products have also decreased, dropping by 0.35% to 3.85% for a 65% FTV, and by 0.34% to 4.05% for 80% FTV.

Rates for UK corporations are now the same as for individuals, with reductions of 0.51% made for 2-year fixed rates, and 0.60% for the 5-year fixed products.

According to the bank, the most significant reductions apply to UK expats, either buying as an individual or corporation, where the new BTL rental rate for a 2-year fixed term is 3.69%, a fall of 0.61% at 65% FTV.

Meanwhile, international residents and corporations also benefit from a 0.50% reduction on the lender’s BTL products, including HMOs and MUFBs.

Paul Stockwell, chief commercial officer at Gatehouse Bank, said: “We are delighted to make our buy-to-let products even more accessible to customers by cutting rates across our entire range.

“We have taken significant steps to improve our eligibility criteria in recent years, and we remain committed to our manual underwriting process, aiding customers who sometimes struggle to access finance.

“Our commitment to treating every customer on an individual basis has proved particularly beneficial to UK expats, and we’re also very pleased to offer reduced rates on HMO and MUFB products.”
