For semi-commercial (mixed-use) properties - properties with residential and commercial components combined - the lender requires a residential valuation and rental income both in excess of 60% of the total of the property.
‘Solutions by Foundation’, the specialist buy-to-let brand of Foundation Home Loans, has also launched a new two-year, fixed-rate limited edition, exclusively for expat borrowers financing a standard buy-to-let property type, available up to 75% LTV with a rate of 6.64% and a fee of 1.5%.
The ‘Solutions by Foundation’ brand offers broad and specialist criteria and products for an additional layer of specialist buy-to-let needs, covering multi-occupancy properties, semi-commercial (mixed-use) property and expat borrowers.
Tom Jacob, Director of Product and Marketing at Foundation Home Loans, said: “Semi-commercial properties are a key part of the specialist buy-to-let marketplace and it’s important we continue to offer competitive pricing and product options in this area, not just for UK-based borrowers but also expats who are increasingly interested in the opportunities these properties provide.
“In addition to the semi-commercial changes we are also pleased to announce this specific new expat product on a two-year fixed-rate basis.
