The client: An existing client of MFB looking to expand his portfolio with the purchase of his eighth buy to let property. The client is a full-time landlord with no other source of income.

The property: A two-bed maisonette valued at £367.5k. The property is attractive to professionals working in the city - within walking distance to a main railway station.

The finance: The client had managed to save a large deposit of £172,500, so was looking for a loan to cover 55% of the purchase price. His only request was a five-year fixed rate which would protect him from interest rate rises in the near future.
