BM Solutions adds ERC-free trackers to BTL and LTB 

BM Solutions, the buy-to-let (BTL) brand of Halifax parent Lloyds Banking Group (LBG), has added two-year trackers with no early repayment charges (ERCs) to its personal BTL and let to buy (LTB) offering. 

The products also have a 1% fee. 

These new products will replace its previous two-year trackers with an ERC and £1,499 fee, which have been withdrawn from the BM Solutions offering. 

For BTL purchase, the two-year tracker at 65% loan to value (LTV) has a rate of 4.45% or 4.65% up to 75% LTV. The remortgage equivalents have corresponding rates. 

Loans from £25,000 to £1m are available up to 65% LTV, or up to £2m at 75% LTV. 

BM Solutions has also replaced its existing product transfer and further advance rates with a £1,499 fee with deals with no fee. Pricing in this range is tailored to borrowers. 

Leigh Church, head of BM Solutions, said: “We’re really pleased to be launching these new tracker mortgages to the BTL and LTB markets. They enhance our intermediary-specific product range and demonstrate our continued support for landlords.”
