Buy-to-let mortgage FREE EPC


Landlord should know by now that if they are selling or renting their buy-to-let property in England or Wales they will need a Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

EPC should cost a landlord no more than £80 in fact recently I got one done locally for £65.

Now the Mortgage Works is offering an EPC free when a landlord takes out a new buy-to-let mortgage with them. The Mortgage Works which is part of the Nationwide Building Society has escaped much of the fallout in the Banking world by sticking to doing the basics. Borrowing money from it's savers to then lending out but not taking excessive risks.

Buy-to-let tracker rates are still very illusive but The Mortgage Works offer some of the most competitive fixed rate products.

  • The Mortgage Works
  • ALL 5 year buy-to-let FIXED RATES withdrawn and 2 & 3 year FIXED RATES withdrawn & replaced with products of 4.69%, 5.19% & 5.69% to 28.2.11 and 5.64% & 5.99% to 29.2.12 and for remortgages 5.49% to 28.2.11 & 6.34% to 29.2.12, w.e.f. 19.11.08. ...more
