Platform increases maximum loan values across all LTV
bands
- Lending criteria changes take place today
From today, the maximum amount that can be loaned in
each LTV band will be:
- £1,500,000 up to 70 per cent;
- £1,000,000 up to 75 per cent;
- £750,000 up to 85 per cent;
- £500,000 up to 90 per cent.
In addition to announcing the change in criteria, Platform is
also announcing new rates across residential and Buy-to-Let
products.
Residential rates have been reduced across the two, three and
five year fixed products as well as the rate of the two year
tracker being cut. The new rates are really competitive and apply
to a mixture of fee, and fee free mortgage options.
Highlights of the new residential range
include:
- 3 Year Fixed rate at 2.24 per cent for 85 per cent LTV with a
£999 arrangement fee;
- 3 Year Fixed rate at 2.54 per cent for 85 per cent LTV with no
fees;
- 5 Year Fixed rate at 2.54 per cent for 80 per cent LTV with a
£999 arrangement fee
Another notable change is the introduction of a 2.29 per cent
two year fixed rate mortgage at 85 per cent LTV with no fees, free
valuation and for re-mortgage customers, free legals also
apply.
Platform has also lowered rates across its two year Buy-to-Let
products with a wide range of deposit and fee options.
Highlights of the Buy-to-Let range include:
- 2 year Fixed rate at 1.99 per cent for 60 per cent LTV with a
£1,999 arrangement fee;
- 3 year Fixed rate at 2.49 per cent for 60 per cent LTV with a
£1,999 arrangement fee;
- 5 year Fixed rate at 3.04 per cent for 60 per cent LTV with a
£1,999 arrangement fee;
- 2 year Tracker rate at 1.89 per cent for 60 per cent LTV with a
£1,999 arrangement fee
Commenting on the new deals for brokers, Stuart Beattie,
Head of Mortgages at Platform, said: “We’ve listened to
feedback from our intermediary partners and changed our lending
criteria in a way that we believe will be more competitive in the
market. Having higher limits across all LTV bands should provide
more opportunities for our partners to find the right fit for their
customers. By also launching some new lower rate mortgages across
our residential and Buy-to-Let mortgage ranges we want be a key
lender in the intermediary market.”
All residential deals come with a free standard valuation for
re-mortgagers and purchasers, plus free legals for re-mortgagers on
both residential and Buy-to-Let. Cashback amounts of £250 are
available on some residential mortgages and a cashback amount of up
to £500 is available on selected Buy-to-Let products.
