My mortgage broker thinks that we possibly are. One of his favourite lenders, with whom I have multiple mortgages, have just released their new rates and terms for their core buy to let mortgage products. Now I have to say that the headline rates aren’t the cheapest that you’ll find on the market.…
Great news! My mortgage broker has been in touch and has told me that one of his favourite lenders, who incidentally also happens to be one of my favourite lenders and with whom I have multiple mortgages, has revamped their buy to let mortgage product range again. And they’ve brought back an 80%…
