The Mortgage Works and Kensington cut fixed rates – roundup
The Mortgage Works (TMW) and Kensington Mortgages have reduced their fixed rates.

 

TMW has cut its two-year fixed to 1.49% for the up to 65% Loan to Value (LTV) mortgage with a £1,995 fee and to 2.14% with no fee.

Selected products at up to 75% LTV are also being reduced by up to 0.40%.

The five-year fixed rate mortgage at up to 75% LTV with a £1995 fee and free standard valuation and £250 cashback is also being reduced by 0.10% to 2.49%.

Additionally, a five year fixed rate limited company product at up to 80% LTV is being introduced, with a rate of 3.69%, in response to broker feedback.

Tracker rates start at 1.44% for the up to 65% LTV two-year product with a £1,995 fee. All tracker products have the switch to fix facility, enabling customers to switch to an existing customer fixed rate deal without incurring early repayment charges (ERCs).

In addition, the cashback of £250 for let to buy products is being extended across the whole let to buy range. Selected rates for large portfolio products will increase by up to 0.20%.

Paul Wootton, managing director of TMW (pictured), said that these changes are designed to support a wide range of landlords, helping them to access a greater choice of competitive rates and to manage their cash flow.
