The number of Buy-to-Let mortgage products goes above 2000 for the first time according to Moneyfacts

May 2, 2018

The number of Buy-to-Let (BTL) products has now passed the 2,000 mark for the first time on their records according to a recent report from Moneyfacts.co.uk, this comes depsite the BTL market having its fair share of turbulence.

Moneyfacts reveal that there are 2,022 BTL mortgage products available at the moment, this figure is up from 1820 six months ago, 1558 one year ago and 1340 two years ago.

Moneyfacts.co.uk finance expert Charlotte Nelson commented: “Amid the upheaval, the market has seen many landlords and aspiring landlords take a step back to assess their options, as a result, BTL providers are now competing for a smaller pool of customers. Offering variety in their range is one way in which they can stay relevant.”

With lenders now having to apply stricter standards to portfolio landlords, Charlotte Nelson said that “Providers may well have opted to offer two different products to cater to the different borrower types.”

Charlotte concluded. “However, any borrowers considering becoming a BTL landlord should seek the advice of a financial adviser, to ensure this is the right choice for them.”
