Meanwhile for the second time this month, YBS Commercial Mortgages has madechanges to its specialist buy to let range. These include a 0.15% discount on the lender’s holiday lets and HMO products.

There are no changes to the lender’s commercial investment products, which start from 6.99% on loans on retail, office, industrial, warehousing, quality leisure facilities and other kinds of commercial property, or to any other products in the lender’s range.

Tom Simpson, managing director at YBS Commercial Mortgages, comments: “We’re pleased to be able to reduce rates on our specialist buy-to-let range. This is especially pertinent given that in the current climate, rate rises have become the norm.

“This move demonstrates our continued commitment, as a strong, stable lending partner, to supporting brokers and their landlord clients with their specialist lending needs, passing on reductions wherever we can, and ensuring that we remain as competitive as possible.”

    Keep 👀 at the product fees sleight of hand. The cartel-like hike in fees across the industry makes 0.1% rate reductions pale into irrelevance.
