MFS are excited to bring their 15 years of specialist ‘can do’ lending expertise and DNA into the Buy-to-Let market to help you support your clients in getting the loan they want, when they need it the most. This is a very innovative product that allows the property buyer flexibility and agility when making repayments. Equally, the loans have a common-sense affordability model to make sure you provide the best, most bespoke BTL products to your clients – they will love it!
It also considers all complex and real-life situations, where typically the whole process is a lengthy hurdle. With all MFS’ research and know-how, they have developed this to best support their intermediaries and borrowers.
MFS have now launched to the whole of the market after a successful soft launch, and with that they have relaxed affordability to help clients reach a higher max loan, relaxed criteria to help clients fit in to their lower rate brackets and simplified their tools including providing an online calculator!
