L&G launches holiday let exclusive with Harpenden

Legal & General (L&G) Mortgage Club has launched an exclusive holiday let product with Harpenden Building Society.

 

The 2-year discounted mortgage has an initial rate of 2.59% with a £100 application fee, an £800 completion fee which can be added to the loan, and scaled valuation fees.

Additionally, an early repayment charge (ERC) of 2% applies for the 2-year period.

The product is offered up to 80% loan-to-value (LTV) on a repayment basis or 75% LTV on an interest-only deal.

There are no upper age restrictions and up to four borrowers per application are accepted.

Legal & General Mortgage Club’s exclusive with Harpenden Building Society can be used by borrowers who are purchasing a property as a holiday let that would have previously been labelled for consumer buy-to-let (BTL).

Additionally, this option has no restrictions on the location of the property, giving prospective buyers purchase options within England and Wales, with properties adjacent or above commercial being accepted.

Gifted deposits from a family member are also accepted, and a personal usage allowance of up to 90 days has been introduced.

Danny Belton, head of lender relationships at Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “Demand for holiday-let investments is still surging and we are proud to partner with Harpenden Building Society to respond to this growing appetite in the market with our latest discounted exclusive.

"With a potential rate rise on the horizon, this exclusive offers advisers welcome access to another competitively priced product, widening the choice they can offer to borrowers looking for holiday let solutions.

"The Harpenden is a longstanding partner of Legal & General Mortgage Club, and we are pleased to be continuing to expand our offering to advisers with the building society.”

Emily Smith, head of distribution and marketing at Harpenden Building Society, added: “We are pleased to be offering this discounted, holiday let mortgage product to the broker network at Legal & General Mortgage Club.

"With the demand for holiday lets having increased over the last 18 months, this product offers a great rate for customers, and includes the added benefit of personal usage for 90 days.

"Additionally, at Harpenden, our mortgages continue to be individually underwritten, enabling us to grasp a customers’ specific and individual needs, however complex they may be.”
