Central Trust, a secured loans lender based in Watford, has announced its launch into the buy-to-let market by offering a range of variable rates, starting at 9.9%, and three year fixed-rates, starting at 10.99%.
The new product, aimed at landlords, aims to allow them to release equity in existing properties without having to resort to remortgaging. With a maximum LTV of 75% and loans from £3,000 to £70,000, funds can be raised for a wide range of purposes and borrowers can use the rental income they receive as proof of repayments.
Central Trust hopes the new products will provide landlords with more flexibility as they seek to benefit from a buoyant rental market.
“Our new BTL products offer a range of unique customer-focussed features,” Buster Tolfree, Commercial Director of Central Trust, said. “Simply put, nobody else in the market offers BTL second charges to 75% LTV, on a fixed rate basis or with only a 58 day ERC and unlimited overpayments.
He continues: “These features place us right at the cutting edge for BTL second charges. The reaction from our introducers has been amazing, and we look forward to launching further innovative products in the future.”
Tom Garratt, Head of intermediary Channel at The Loans Engine, said of the new product: “As consumers become more concerned about the imminent increase in the base rate, we have seen a significant uplift in the popularity of fixed rates on secured loan products.
“Securing a loan on a rental property is an effective means of raising funds for a variety of reasons, such as renovation of the property or raising the capital needed to place a deposit on another buy-to-let property but the introduction of a fixed rate term on a second charge buy-to-let product, certainly raises the bar and will prove to be popular amongst our introducers.”
