The 3 best fixed rate buy-to-let mortgages

With interest rates and buy-to-let mortgage rates forecast to rise later in the year I've gone in search of the 3 best fixed rate buy-t0-let mortgages deals.

LOWEST PAY RATE 2.99%

The lowest initial pay fixed rate buy-to-let mortgage is offered by The Mortgage Works with a 2.99% fixed until 28/02/11, effectively a 1 year fix.

This buy-to-let loan is available up to 60% LTV.

The arrangement fee for this mortgage is 3,75% with a minimum of £595.


BEST LONG TERM FIX

Whiteaway Laidlaw Bank offer excellent longer term fixed rate buy-to-let mortgages.

This includes a 4.84% 3 year fix as well as a 5.39% 5 year fix.

These products are only available to landlords with up to a maximum of 5 properties with all buy-to-let lenders.

Arrangement fees are 2.75% and 2.5% of the loan respectively. Both buy-to-let mortgages are available up to 70% of the value of the property.

MAX LTV

Landlords looking at maximising their leverage on their buy-to-let loans should have a look at Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank who offer the only 80% LTV buy-to-let mortgage.

The initial pay rate is 6.99% and is fixed until 30/04/2015.

A landlord is limited to 3 buy-to-let mortgages with these lenders.

Headline rates are fine but you should quote the reversion rates ie what the pay rate will be after the fixed term has elapsed.

I was caught out when I bought my apartment for £135k @5.75% fixed for 2 years starting in August 2007. Since then it was downhill - I've lost £22k of equity which meant I couldn't remortgage when the fixed rate finished. So I was stuck with my lender's SVR. However, it turned out that their SVR is a mere 2.5% above base.

If you get stuck with a lender's SVR which is higher than that of the competition, you could pay later more than you saved during the fixed term.
