TSB has recently announced significant changes to its mortgage offerings, including rate reductions and the introduction of new buy-to-let products. These updates are set to take effect on March 28, 2025, and will apply to various buy-to-let, product transfer, and additional borrowing options. The move aims to make TSB's mortgage portfolio more competitive in the market, especially for those seeking to invest in rental properties.
TSB is introducing new buy-to-let 2-year and 5-year fixed house purchase products for loans with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio between 75% and 80%. These new offerings will have rates starting from 4.84%[1][3]. This expansion in TSB's product range is likely to attract more investors in the buy-to-let sector, who are looking for stable fixed rates and favorable LTV ratios.
For existing buy-to-let investors and those considering entering the market, TSB is lowering rates on several fixed-term products. The 2-year fixed house purchase mortgage up to 75% LTV will see rate reductions of up to 0.15%, which could make buying rental properties more attractive to potential investors[1][4]. Furthermore, 2-year fixed remortgage deals up to 75% LTV will be reduced by up to 0.10%, while 2- and 5-year fixed remortgages between 75% and 80% LTV will benefit from rate cuts of up to 0.20%[1][3].
TSB is also adjusting its product transfer rates. For buy-to-let customers, the 2-year fixed rate with no fee up to 75% LTV will drop by 0.10%, and the 2- and 5-year fixed rates at 75% to 80% LTV will be reduced by up to 0.20%[1][4]. These changes will allow existing borrowers to switch to more favorable rates without incurring significant fees.
In the additional borrowing segment, 2-year fixed BTL rates up to 75% LTV will decrease by up to 0.10%[1][3]. This reduction will be beneficial for those looking to expand their property portfolios or enhance existing properties.
TSB's decision to introduce new products and reduce rates positions the bank as a strong competitor in both the residential and buy-to-let arenas. This move is likely to encourage other lenders to reassess their offerings, potentially leading to more competitive rates across the market.
To take advantage of the current rates before the changes come into effect, TSB advises that all existing applications for affected products should be submitted promptly. This ensures that borrowers can lock in more favorable rates before they expire[1][3].
When selecting a mortgage product, it's crucial to consider the following factors:
The mortgage market is subject to constant fluctuations due to economic conditions and policy changes. Staying informed about competitor rates and market trends can help borrowers make more strategic choices.
TSB's recent moves in the mortgage market reflect a broader effort to stay competitive and meet the evolving needs of both residential and buy-to-let borrowers. With new products and reduced rates, the bank is poised to attract more customers seeking better deals on their mortgages. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how other lenders respond to these changes.
