Santander improves buy-to-let affordability rates
The lender's buy-to-let affordability rates are reducing from today.
From today, Santander has announced enhancements to its buy-to-let affordability rates.
The standard buy-to-let affordability rate is reducing from 7.31% to 7.15%, the five-year fixed rate from 5.31% to 5.15%, and the pound-for-pound remortgage rate also from 5.31% to 5.15%.
Any full mortgage applications submitted from 6am on Wednesday 20 November will be assessed using Santander's new lending policy.
