Can we get ahead?
If you are going on holiday soon, do you have any second charge cases you want me to look at for you now?
Ideally, if we can get the leg work done now, we can progress everything whilst you are away.
There’s nothing particularly new on the second charge front.
However it’s worth bearing the following recent changes in mind:
- Second charge HMO rates dropped to 6.29%
- New 95% LTV product – rates from 8%
- 100% LTV available from 11% and will accept light adverse in last 12 months
- BTL – new products
- Projected rental income accepted
- Non rental income included in affordability assessment
- No stress test on first and second charge
- Portfolios – standard affordability calculations – no in depth business plans required
- Limited company and SPV’s accepted – now at lower rates
