75% LTV 2-year fixed rate products with a 3% fee, now start at 4.85% for green properties and 4.90% for standard properties.

Louisa Sedgwick (pictured), commercial director at Paragon Bank, said: “Although there is still work to do to stabilise the economy, things do seem to be heading in the right direction and the general feeling is that rates are coming down.

“This means that we’re seeing landlords seek the stability of a fixed rate but over the shorter two-year term so they can reassess the market in a couple of years’ time.

“With it being Valentine’s Day, we wanted to show some love to our landlord customers so we’re offering our lowest rate on 2-year fixes for new customers in over 18 months and have taken 0.35% off our 3% fee 2-year product too.”
