MFS announced rollout of BTL pilot | What can we expect?
Building on its 15 years of experience as a specialist lender working with property investors and brokers, Market Financial Solutions has announced that it is to enter the buy-to-let mortgage space following the soft launch of its new BTL proposition.
According to MFS, the new products are being tested through several brokers ahead of a wider launch in 2022.
The new BTL business is headed up by Mike Cook, who recently joined the company and has over 20 years of experience in mortgage lending. Most recently, Mike helped create and launch Vida Homeloans, having previously held senior positions at Bank of Ireland, ING Direct, Lehman, and Kensington.
MFS’s BTL mortgages suit clients in complex situations and corporate or overseas structures, including offshore companies, trusts and foreign nationals. MFS will also lend for various strong-yielding property types, such as very large HMOs or multi-unit blocks through to holiday lets.
The London-based lender offers a super flexible interest cover ratio (ICR) of 80%, which can then be combined with rolled-up and deferred monthly payments, interest of up to 1%, and top-slicing. This will help achieve the right loan size, even on prime London properties, while avoiding failed transactions, delays and lost fees.
17 broker firms are taking part in the initial pilot in Q4 2021. MFS will add more broker firms as the pilot progresses before fully launching its BTL mortgage range in 2022.
Paresh Raja, (pictured) CEO of MFS, said: “This is a hugely exciting moment for MFS. Building on our 15-year experience as a specialist lender, primarily in the bridging space, we’re now bringing the speed and flexibility that we’re so well known for into the BTL space. We look forward to working closely with several brokers during this initial pilot before bringing the BTL mortgage offering to the market next year.”
Mike Cook, Chief Mortgage Officer at MFS, added: “The transition into the BTL mortgage space is a natural fit for MFS – it understands the BTL market inside out and will apply its experience in underwriting bespoke loans to help brokers deliver for their more complex clients. I look forward to driving this pilot forward and am confident that it will prove hugely successful in the coming months.”
