UTB recently made a number of enhancements to its BTL mortgage proposition designed to give brokers more choice when supporting professional, larger landlord clients. These included:

•           No upper limit on landlord’s total portfolio size

•           Up to 6 properties can now be mortgaged with UTB

•           Maximum UTB lending increased to £2.5m

Buster Tolfree of UTB says: “These lower rates combined with our BTL criteria enhancements will give brokers greater choice for their landlord clients who need the flexibility of a specialist lender without compromising on price. We help a wide variety of landlords seize opportunities to grow their single let, HMO, MUB and holiday let portfolios and find value in property types many lenders disregard.”
