Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has cut rates on its bridge fusion range, which was introduced in June and is a hybrid of a bridging loan and a longer-term buy-to-let (BTL) mortgage, which allows a longer term of 24-36 months for increased certainty on loans up to £20m. It has also reduced rates on its commercial BTL products at the same time as expanding the maximum loan term up to 10 years and upping the maximum loan size from £1.5m to £2m. For its residential BTL mortgages, MFS is now offering a maximum loan term of 10 years.
