YBS Commercial Mortgages has returned its limited company buy-to-let lending criteria back to 75 per cent LTV.
Existing customers who have been with the mutual for three years or more will be able to borrow up to an increased maximum loan size of £20m.
New customers will have access to 75 per cent LTV borrowing up to £5m and for new customers borrowing at 65 per cent LTV, the maximum loan amount has increased from £5m to £15m.
Tom Simpson, managing director at YBS Commercial Mortgages, said: “At a time when the economy is under pressure, we’re committed to supporting our existing and new customers and changing our lending criteria back to pre-lockdown levels show that we are taking confident action.
“Our plans to expand the business are still on track, we have remained open for business during these challenging times and our commitment to be a stable, long-term lending partner for borrowers has not faltered.”
