Market Update: Quarter 3, 2022
What a year this is turning out to be! We've put together a brief market update to give you a summary about the outlook for holiday letting. Below are some key points:
Mortgage rates
We're continually keeping a close eye on the holiday let mortgage market following the recent rate rises by The Bank of England. In summary, two year Fixed Rate products have increased quite considerably due to movements in the underlying swap rate. Five year Fixed Rate products are still quite good and there are plenty of two year Discount Variable options on the market for those who don't mind rate fluctuations.
By way of actual figures, when looking at 75% LTV deals, the best two year product is a Discount Variable of 2.59% and the best two year Fixed Rate is 3.29%. The best five year deal is 3.59% Fixed Rate. The gap between two and five year deals has really closed!
Lender service levels have dropped considerably in the last few weeks and the timeframe from application to offer has extended to around 8 weeks. Make sure you give yourself enough time to take this into account and manage expectations in the chain accordingly.
Letting criteria
In the current market, the lending conditions are also stable for now. Since the furlough scheme ended, the underwriting of personal income has returned to normal levels although some lenders still want to see some level of spare cash in the background.
Mortgage lenders & products
We've recently seen more lenders coming to the market with new offerings. We have also noticed existing lenders amending new products for buyers and one example is The Nottingham and Marsden Building Society.
