Buy-to-let mortgage - return of the cap

Landlords I can announce the return of the cap! No it's not some strange of landlord birth control.

Landlord insurance - professional discounted rates - for all landlords

It actually refers to a type of buy-to-let mortgage which allows landlords to hedge against potentially rapidly rising interest rates whilst benefiting in the short term from a low pay rate. This type of buy to let mortgage rate had all but disappeared as mortgage rates over the last 5 years were relatively stable. However, with the introduction of quantitative easing in an attempt to drag us out of a deflationary hole we may all be facing a big inflationary bubble. This will need to be choked off in the next couple of years requiring the Bank of England to raise dramatically the base rate and therefore buy-to-let mortgage rates.

Landlords should think seriously about using a capped buy-to-let mortgage products to insure them against dramatic rate rises.

The capped rate announced are buy-to-let mortgages from the intermediary lending arm of Coventry BS - Godiva. The capped rate is set at 5.49% to 30.06.09 with a current pay rate of 3.99%.
