5 year fixed buy to let mortgage rates have never been cheaper.

According to UK market analysts, on average the rate of a 5 year fixed term buy to let mortgage has never been cheaper.

This time last year, the average rate was 3.77% - this has now dropped to 3.43% and that is despite last November’s rise in the base rate.

One of the likely reasons could be that 5 year deals are not stress-tested in the same way as 2 year fixes. Consequently, lenders have been focusing their attention on the 5 year options, making this sector of the market highly competitive.
