• Available for single self-contained properties (SSC), houses in multiple occupation (HMO) and multi-unit blocks (MUB)

Paragon Bank has reduced its core two-year fixed rate buy-to-let mortgages by 45bps, with rates now starting at 4.85%.

Rates on the two-year fixes are priced at 4.85% for single self-contained properties with EPC ratings of A-C and 4.90% where the EPC is rated D or E. Interest coverage ratios (ICR) are calculated at 6.85% and 6.90% respectively.

Paragon is also offering a two-year fixed rate buy-to-let mortgage for houses in multiple occupation (HMO) and multi-unit blocks (MUB), with interest charged at 5.10% and ICR calculated at 7.10%.

The products incur a 5% fee and are available to portfolio landlords at up to 70% loan-to-value. The mortgages are suitable for landlords applying as individuals or through limited company structures in England, Scotland and Wales.

Louisa Sedgwick, Commercial Director at Paragon Bank, said: “Our most recent rate reduction sees us quickly respond to the current stability of the swaps market and take 45bps off our core two-year buy-to-let fixed rate, offering our customers some very competitively priced products. These should appeal to borrowers who would like the certainty of a fixed rate product, but over a shorter two-year period.

“While five-year fixes remain popular, we have seen demand grow for two-year options. This could be driven by more landlords choosing to reassess the market in two years’ time, with the recent easing of inflation increasing confidence that we are nearing the current cycle of base rate rises and the expectation that this will play through to mortgage rates during the period.”
