Keystone Property Finance has expanded its lending proposition into the semi-commercial market with rates starting from 7.14%.
Landlords can choose from two- and five-year fixed rates available for both purchase and remortgage cases up to a maximum loan size of £2m.
Lending covers the entire property and affordability is assessed solely on the residential rental income.
Keystone’s semi-commercial products are available across standard units, houses in multiple occupation (HMO), multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs), and holiday lets.
Lending is open to limited companies, trading limited companies, special purpose vehicles, limited liability partnerships, and individual borrowers.

Seeking diversification
Elise Coole (pictured), managing director at Keystone Property Finance, said: “What we’ve heard consistently is that landlords are increasingly looking beyond traditional buy-to-let in search of stronger yields and greater diversification, yet semi-commercial remains underserved by lenders relative to the demand that’s out there.
“That’s why, over the past 12 months, we’ve made two significant moves into new segments – first refurb-to-let and now semi-commercial. Both have been driven by clear, broker-led demand and reflect our commitment to expanding where brokers genuinely need more support.”
