Atom Bank, Gen H, Catalyst, and ASG Finance unveil competitive rate cuts and enhanced terms
Four lenders — Atom bank, Gen H, Catalyst Property Finance, and ASG Finance — have unveiled rate reductions across their respective mortgage and property finance products, offering brokers and their clients a range of more competitive financing options.
Digital lender Atom bank has cut rates on its commercial mortgage range. Variable rates have been reduced by as much as 76 basis points (bps), while fixed rates dropped by up to 73bps, with the largest cuts applying to higher loan-to-value (LTV) products.
Rates for borrowers at 75% LTV now start at 2.89% for variable and 7.36% for fixed, while 45% LTV borrowers can access rates as low as 2.06% variable and 6.43% fixed.
In addition to lower rates, Atom bank is offering a 25bps discount on loans between £1 million and £4 million for applications submitted by November 29. The lender has also streamlined its application process, with agreement in principles (AIPs) issued within one working day and offers typically finalised within 10 days.
Meanwhile, fintech mortgage lender Gen H has introduced its third round of rate reductions in three weeks, targeting its 90% and 95% LTV standard and homebuying bundle products.
Two- and three-year fixed rates have been cut by 10bps, while five-year rates have dropped by 12bps. The new rates are now available to intermediaries on Gen H’s broker panel, catering to borrowers with smaller deposits, complex incomes, and other unique circumstances.
#PropertyDevelopers and #Investors we've repriced all of our short term finance products & increased some of our LTV bandings too.
