YBS COMMERCIAL CUTS RATES ACROSS THE BOARD BY AS MUCH AS 0.30%
30 Nov 2023
YBS Commercial Mortgages has made some positive changes this week – effective now - to benefit brokers and their clients.
The commercial lender has cut rates by 0.30% on its buy-to-let range for commercial landlords borrowing under £1 million, and by 0.20% on products for those borrowing £1 million or more. The lender’s specialist Holiday Lets and Housing of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) products have also been discounted by 0.20%, taking their rates to 6.35% (was 6.55%) and 6.30% (was 6.50%) respectively.
Commercial investors are also set to benefit, as the commercial investment five-year fix, launched just this year - available for loans on retail, office, industrial, warehousing, quality leisure facilities and other kinds of commercial property – has also reduced by 0.20%.
The five-year fixed rate semi-commercial product, designed specifically for part-residential, part-commercial assets, has also seen its rate reduce to 7.10% (was 7.30%) up to 60% LTV; and 7.15% (was 7.35%) to 70% LTV.
Other highlights of the new range include:
A five-year fix for buy-to-let clients borrowing up to 65% LTV, at a rate of 5.90% (was 6.20%) on loans of under £1 million, which comes with a 2% fee
A five-year fix, also for buy-to-let clients needing up to 65% LTV, at 5.05% (previously 5.25%) for loans over £1 million, which comes with a 5% fee
And a five-year fix at 75% LTV, suitable for loans on commercial properties, at a rate of 7.49% (was 7.69%), which comes with a 2% fee.
Tom Simpson, managing director of YBS Commercial Mortgages, said:
