The 5 year fixed rate product also uses the pay rate of 4.39% to assess rental yield rather than the notional rate.

According to Business Development Director, Paul Brett, the 3 and 5 year fixed rate products fill a significant gap in the product range.
He said: “We have reduced rates on products and also introduced a new 3 and 5 year product, which our introducers had identified as an important addition we needed to make. By allowing the rental yield calculation of 4.39% rather than the notional rate, we believe this will allow more customers to benefit from our compelling lending proposition. I believe that introducers will be delighted by these changes, which will appeal to more landlords looking to lock into a longer term product.”
