THE PROPERTY FILTER TAKE

  • Three lenders - Family Building Society, The Mortgage Works, and Nationwide - cut mortgage rates in the same week, with reductions of up to 0.25% across BTL and residential products.

  • For a buy-to-let landlord remortgaging at 65% LTV with The Mortgage Works, the new two-year fix at 3.19% on a £200k loan means roughly £532 per month - a saving of around £42 per month versus the prior rate.

  • Consider speaking to a whole-of-market broker now; with multiple lenders moving simultaneously, you may wish to run the numbers to check whether your current rate still stacks up.

Three lenders cut mortgage rates in the same week. If you are a landlord mid-deal or approaching a remortgage, here is what each move means for your monthly payment.

Family Building Society: Trackers Launched, HMO Products Return

Family Building Society announced a new range of two-year interest-only tracker products for owner-occupiers and buy-to-let (BTL) landlords, according to Mortgage Solutions (25 June 2026). The trackers are available for UK and expat landlords, including those borrowing through limited company special purpose vehicles (SPVs - a legal structure used to hold property assets separately from personal finances).

The society also reintroduced five-year fixed rate products for house in multiple occupation (HMO - a property let to three or more unrelated tenants sharing facilities) properties. These cover both UK and expat landlords and had been withdrawn in March. It cut its two-year fixed rate by 30 basis points (bps - each basis point equals 0.01%) and its five-year UK landlord rates by 10bps.

Darren Deacon, Family BS head of intermediary sales, said broker enquiries for tracker products are increasing. Borrowers want flexibility "while they wait for more stable economic and political conditions before committing to a longer-term fixed rate." If you want to stress-test a BTL loan against tracker and fixed scenarios, Property Filter's BTL stress test calculator can run the numbers side by side.

The Mortgage Works: Third BTL Rate Cut in June

The Mortgage Works (TMW) cut rates by up to 0.25% on selected one-, two- and five-year fixed rate products - its third set of cuts in June, per Mortgage Solutions.

The headline numbers: the limited company BTL two-year fix sits at 4.09% with a 3% fee, available up to 75% LTV (loan to value - the share of a property's value you are borrowing). For standard purchase and remortgage at 65% LTV, the two-year fix drops to 3.19% with a 3% fee. The five-year fix for purchase and remortgage at 65% LTV comes in at 3.99% with a 3% fee.

On a £200,000 BTL loan at 3.19% interest-only, your monthly cost is roughly £532. At the previous rate - 0.25% higher - that same loan cost around £574. That is a saving of around £42 per month. Dan Clinton, TMW's head of BTL, said the cuts aim to help landlords manage cost pressures.

Nationwide: Up to 0.25% Off Across All Buyer Types

Nationwide cut rates across first-time buyer, homemover, remortgage and switcher ranges - its third rate reduction in June, per Mortgage Solutions. The lowest fixed rate is now 4.19% for customers moving home.

First-time buyers see reductions of up to 0.18% across two-, three-, five- and 10-year fixes up to 95% LTV. Remortgage customers benefit most - cuts of up to 0.25% across two-, three- and five-year products up to 95% LTV. Switcher products (existing Nationwide customers moving to a new deal without moving home) dropped by up to 0.14% across two-, three- and five-year fixes up to 90% LTV. Homemovers see reductions of up to 0.15% across two-, three-, five- and 10-year fixes up to 95% LTV.

Henry Jordan, Nationwide's group director of mortgages, said the lender is "committed to supporting all borrower types." For context on how rate movements fit broader property finance strategy, see Property Filter's mortgage and bridging finance guides.

TMW's BTL two-year fix is now 3.19% at 65% LTV and 3.99% on a five-year fix at 65% LTV, both with a 3% fee.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a basis point in mortgage terms?

One basis point equals 0.01%, so a 30bps cut means the rate falls by 0.30 percentage points. On a £150,000 interest-only mortgage, that saves roughly £37.50 per month.

Who can access TMW's new lower BTL rates?

Both individual landlords and limited company borrowers. The lowest rates (3.19% two-year fix) are available up to 65% LTV. Limited company borrowers at up to 75% LTV access the 4.09% two-year fix.

What is an HMO mortgage product?

An HMO mortgage covers properties let to three or more unrelated tenants sharing facilities. Lenders treat these separately from standard BTL properties, with their own product ranges and criteria.

Is Nationwide's 4.19% rate available to BTL landlords?

No. The Nationwide cuts reported here cover residential owner-occupier products - first-time buyers, homemovers, remortgage and switcher customers. BTL landlords should look at specialist lenders for relevant rates.

Should I consider a tracker rate given Family BS's new products?

Trackers move in line with the Bank of England base rate, so monthly payments can go up as well as down. You may wish to model both tracker and fixed scenarios against your cash flow before deciding - Property Filter's stress test calculator can help compare the numbers.
