Extended loans for landlords with imperfect credit record

A new product introduced by a loan company can help landlords with a questionable credit rating

A new product line from West One Loans dubbed W3 is available up to 65% LTV and includes two options: a 6.84% five-year fix with a 4.99% charge and a 7.29% five-year fix with a 2.5% cost. The maximum loan amount is £500,000, and the pay rate of the product is used to determine the rental amount. The lender will consider homes next to or above commercial units, as well as modest HMOs and multi-unit freehold buildings.

Tenants must pay in whole and on schedule for landlords to benefit. Even while they are still generally a favourable credit risk, landlords run the danger of skipping payments and getting marks on their credit record when they don`t, which has been happening more frequently since the epidemic. Borrowers who can prove they have resolved their issues and are essentially a responsible credit risk can take advantage of the W3 option. Commercially speaking, the timing of this new launch makes sense given the strengthening state of the economy.

What do the loan conditions cover? One default, one CCJ, and one missed mortgage payment in the previous 12 months is all allowed, while any in the past three months is not acceptable. All of these conditions are up to a maximum of £5000. Additionally, no bankruptcies or individual voluntary arrangements in the past 72 months will be accepted.

According to the company, any credit impairment that is more than a year old, unpaid debt, or unpaid bills to communication providers and public utilities may be disregarded if a good justification is provided.

This year will see better-than-expected mortgage lending

A large number of mortgage brokers across the UK have predicted an increase in mortgage lending throughout this year, contradicting official forecasts

Last year, when borrowers tightened their belts in response to fast rising living expenses, gross loans plummeted by 28% to £226 billion. But according to a recent TMA Club survey, one in five brokers predicted that total lending will exceed £251 billion this year. A further three out of five anticipate gross loans to reach between £220 and £250 billion this year.

Experts have noted that concerns over inflation are abating more quickly than the Bank of England had anticipated, and governor Andrew Bailey`s most recent comments hint that a base rate decrease may occur later in the year. The change that occurred in the first three months of this year has increased adviser involvement and borrower trust. Although lenders are undoubtedly pricing to capture market share, there are still challenges related to affordability, which is keeping activity high.

Remortgage activity is constant as credit conditions continue to improve, but there are mounting indications that the property market is strengthening as buyer demand increases. What is already evident in the UK property market was mirrored in the Bank of England`s Q1 Credit Conditions Survey. The state of credit is getting better. Both the quantity of mortgages available and the number of mortgage applications that are granted are rising.

The first quarter of this year saw no decline in mortgage pricing, but neither was there an increase either, and for the upcoming quarter, mortgage pricing is predicted to remain flat. This is good news for homebuyers and additional proof that the UK housing market has not entered a state of flux while we wait for a general election.
