HTB: ‘Highlighting our appetite for business from portfolio landlords’
Chris Daly (pictured), managing director, specialist mortgages at Hampshire Trust Bank, said: “These positive changes to our specialist investment loan proposition highlight our appetite for business from portfolio landlords and professional investors, with our £1m-£5m band being particularly competitively priced.
“These reductions put our fixed rates firmly in a sweet spot for investors, and with our service back at SLA levels, we are ready to manage demand for these attractively priced products.
“As illustrated with our recent ERC product launches, we do not believe high fees/lower rate products meet the needs of landlords; rather, we think it is prudent to offer options for brokers to recommend the best product to meet their clients’ requirements for leverage and affordability, as demonstrated with today’s changes.”
