As of Tuesday 5th April, Keystone Property Finance significantly expands its lending criteria and HMO offering alongside increasing its maximum LTV for standard products to 80%, as part of a major overhaul of its lending criteria.

The specialist buy-to-let lender’s decision to increase its maximum LTV from 75% to 80%, opens up its standard and green ranges to landlords with smaller deposits.

Keystone will now lend on HMOs of up to 15 beds and multi-unit properties (MUP) of up to 15 flats, both up from 10 previously. Further, the lender will also now accept first-time landlords purchasing an HMO property up to six beds (HMOs were not available to FTLs before) or a multi-unit property of up to six flats (up from four previously).

The specialist buy-to-let lender will also now lend to retired ex-pat applicants, who can choose from a separate new range with rates starting at 3.34%. Further details can be found by viewing their product range here.

As well as expanding their criteria, Keystone has also increased its enhanced cashback offer from a maximum of £3,000 to a maximum of £5,000.
