TMW chops fixed rates

A worry development last week in the buy-to-let mortgage market was signaled when one of the largest buy-to-let lenders the Mortgage Works withdrew some of it's longer date fixed rate buy-to-let mortgage products. These included the 4.99%, 5.29% and 5.64% 3 year fixed rates and the 5.79% five year fix. Other rates were marginally increased.

It looks like that it's not only economists who are getting nervous about the rising inflation rate and the possibility of the Bank of England base rate starting to pull clear of the bottom.

A full listing of the changes in the Mortgage Works buy-to-let mortgage product range courtesy of emoneyfacts is given below:

FIXED RATE MORTGAGES of 4.99%, 5.29% & 5.64% to 31.7.13 & 5.79% to 31.7.15 withdrawn.
