Coventry for intermediaries – the broker facing arm of Coventry Building Society – has cut all of its limited company BTL rates by up to 0.19 percentage points. The cuts are on both remortgage and purchases applications and include two- and five-year fixed rates.

Jonathan Stinton, head of intermediary relationships, at Coventry Building Society, says: “We’re seeing more and more landlords turning to limited companies to manage their portfolios. Our latest rate reductions are designed to give them more choice and value in a market that’s still evolving.”

West Brom Building Society has revealed rate reductions across its two- and three-year fixed mortgage ranges, with cuts of up to 0.33%.

In the two-year range, the £999 fee-paying 80% LTV remortgage product is now available at 4.25%, while the equivalent purchase option has been reduced to 4.10%. The no-fee purchase alternative has also been cut, now at 4.30%.

Two interest only products have also been added to the two-year range at 60% LTV with a £999 fee, for purchase at 4.10% and remortgage at 4.25% respectively. Changes have also been made to the three-year range. New 80% LTV options for both purchase and remortgage are being introduced, with pricing from 4.30% and 4.36% respectively.

West Brom BS product manager Aran Mann comments: “We know customers are still navigating uncertainty, so we’re focused on delivering strong options across the board, whether it’s a first-time buyer looking for stability or a homeowner seeking a better deal. Our goal is to support them with rates that meet their needs in the moments that matter.”
