Mortgages at an all-time low


At our Landlord seminar on 2 March at the Oxford Spires Hotel, we will consider the pros and cons of re-mortgaging.  So why is it that this is now so timely?

Well, last week Mortgages for Business indicated that the average price of two and three year fixed rate loans had hit all-time lows of 2.92% and 3.76% respectively.

Now, Mortgage Brain, the technology firm that supports lenders has stated that the cost of an 80% loan to value (LTV) 2-year fixed rate mortgage is now 18% lower than it was at the start of 2014 and 11% lower than it was a year ago.  Similarly, the lowest rate 3-year fixed rate mortgage with an 80% LTV is 16% lower than it was three years ago and 10% lower than last year.

However, it also reported that there is evidence that the market is now levelling out and appears set to move away from the long period of historic lows rates in terms of fees and low interest rates.  It is therefore important that Landlords seek to lock-in these historic low rates to take advantage of stable low rates over the coming months.

At our seminar Ollie Sills of London & Country Mortgages (L&C) will speak on the current mortgage market.  L&C is the leading mortgage broker nationally maintaining the most extensive panel of lenders, enabling them to offer a whole of market view of the the pros and cons of re-mortgaging.
