TMW lowers switcher rates; Principality relaunches limited-edition 95% LTV – round-up
The Mortgage Works (TMW) has reduced rates across its switcher products, effective from 12 September.
For buy-to-let (BTL) borrowers switching rates, TMW has reduced a two-year fix at 65% loan to value (LTV) by 0.05% to 3.79%.
At the same tier, a three-year fixed rate deal has been lowered by the same amount to 3.84%, as has a five-year fixed rate option, which is also now priced at 3.84%.
All products have a 3% fee.
Joe Avarne, senior manager of BTL mortgages at TMW, said: “These competitive rate reductions continue to evidence our commitment to supporting landlords looking to manage their cash flow through fixed rates.”
These reductions follow tweaks to the lender’s mortgage pricing last month.
