Product focus

BuildLoan, the intermediary self-build mortgage product from self-build specialist, BuildStore, has added to its base rate tracker range with a redemption-free part-repayment option at the end of the build.

This feature is designed for the borrower who remains in their own home during the build and then releases the equity in it by selling up and moving into the newly-built house.

The tracker is funded by Lloyds TSB and has a rate of 1% above the bank base rate until the end of 2007, at which point the borrower can switch to any Lloyds TSB product.

Loan-to-values (LTV) are set at 95% of land costs and 95% of build costs. Redemption penalties are set at 3%, 2% and 1% in the first three years respectively.

John Hay, marketing director of BuildStore, said: ‘The addition of Lloyds TSB Scotland to the BuildLoan panel is an important part of our plans to build up the BuildLoan brand and attract more brokers to the products.

‘We are aiming for the online registration of up to 1,000 advisers a month. Lloyds TSB has enhanced the range of mortgages available with this introduction of its first tracker product, one that allows builders to stay in their own home during the build.’

The product carries an arrangement fee of £295.For procuration fees refer to distributor.
