Furness launches new buy-to-let, holiday let and shared ownership products

Furness Building Society has announced the launch of a refreshed mortgage range, introducing new holiday let, regulated buy-to-let and shared ownership products, alongside enhancements to its lending criteria and service proposition.

The updated holiday let and regulated buy-to-let ranges have been designed to support borrowers with more specialist requirements, including those investing in short-term rental properties or letting to family members. Products within these ranges are available from 5.44% for a two-year fixed rate at 75% LTV.

The addition of shared ownership products aims to help more people take their first step onto the property ladder, with rates starting from 5.04% for a two-year fixed rate at 85% loan to share.

These product developments sit alongside continued improvements to Furness’ lending criteria throughout 2026. Enhancements include a more flexible approach to income assessment, affordability and property types, helping intermediaries find solutions for clients who may not fit high street criteria.

Jonathan Cartlidge, head of member and broker strategy at Furness Building Society, said: “Everything we do at Furness starts with understanding people’s individual circumstances. We know that no two cases are the same, and that’s why we continue to evolve both our product range and our criteria.

"These latest additions – across holiday let, regulated buy-to-let and shared ownership – are about giving brokers more choice and flexibility, while staying true to our approach of looking at every case on its own merits.

"Alongside this, we’ve continued to strengthen our criteria and service levels throughout 2026, making it easier for intermediaries to work with us and place business with confidence.”
