Kensington increases buy to let mortgage limits.
News in the buy to let market has not been entirely positive since 01 April, however the Kensington has released the news that it has increased its maximum loan level on buy to let mortgages. Deals are now available up to £1.5 million.
A spokesperson for the lender commented on this move, advising that it has also decided to amend its terms because it feels larger loans are often complicated. For this reason, each application will be individually assessed by an underwriter. With changes to buy to let all investment mortgages will now be assessed in this manner, that way every application is fairly reviewed.
