The Coventry and Leeds Building Societies lowered their buy-to-let mortgage rates this week, making them more attractive to property investors. Leeds cut their two-year buy-to-let fixed rate mortgage by 36 basis points to 3.99%. The mortgage is available providing you have a 35% deposit and the arrangement fee is low at £999. Lenders have lowered their buy-to-let rates as many first-time buyers continue to struggle to get a mortgage if they don't have at least a 10% deposit. The average length of tenancy in the UK has risen to a record high of 20 months, according to research from the Association of Residential Letting Agents. August 8, 2012
