Tom Jacob, Director of Product and Marketing at Foundation Home Loans, said:

“Historically, first-time landlords tended not to begin their property investing journey with more specialist property types, however more recently we have been aware of an increase in demand in this space, no doubt fuelled by a quest for greater rental yield levels, and in order to meet the healthy demand for such tenancies.

“We’re therefore very pleased to be offering these new standard HMO products, specifically for first-time landlords, who can benefit from our experience in this space, plus a 75% LTV product with both competitive two- and five-year pricing.

“Clearly, HMO properties come with greater responsibilities and requirements than standard rental property types and it’s important that advisers play a pivotal role with first-time landlords, helping them understand all that is involved as well as ensuring they have the right finance solution for their purchase needs.”
