News in brief - 22 August 2025

Aldermore has launched new five-year limited-edition products for landlords, which include a 5% fee for single applications and multi-property products. For new customers, the lender’s buy-to-let (BTL) products for individual and company landlords with single residential properties start from 4.34%, while its multi-property product for individual and company landlords with residential investment property portfolios is available from 4.29%. Both products are available up to 75% LTV.

LendInvest Mortgages has announced enhancements to its BTL offerings, including new purchase and remortgage options across a range of property types with no product fees. The UK fintech platform dedicated to specialist lending has also launched a range of up-front fee-free product transfer options. The firm said that these updates serve as a benefit to intermediaries, giving them more options to support their clients, whether they are purchasing, remortgaging or looking to refinance.

Skipton Business Finance (SBF) has appointed Michelle Wilson as chief operating officer (COO), following her tenure as interim COO. She joined the firm eight months ago as a director, after spending 23 years at Close Brothers Invoice Finance. She spent 16 years of this period in senior leadership positions, including head of commercial client services and head of northern operations. Since joining SBF, Wilson has played a role in enhancing operational performance, improving client experience and supporting the firm’s growth strategy.
