Nationwide’s director of mortgages, Henry Jordan said: “The impact of Covid-19 has led to uncertainty in the property market and some landlords are looking to manage their cashflow as they navigate the coming months.

“Some may be reluctant to lock into a long term mortgage deal, so the Society has introduced a new one-year fixed mortgage with its lowest ever rate, to support these landlords.”

Sounds like a false economy to me & a marketing ploy i.e. "we're here to help landlords" but 65% loan to value max is probably due to the stress test at their variable rate at 125% (basic rate tax payer) or 145% (higher rate) & although an interest rate of 1% sounds great it's not really when you consider the exceptionally low interest rate climate is a given for at least the next 12 months, so no real deal here, but where they really get you is the 2% arrangement fee upfront (and probably interest on it if added to the loan) which a borrower will be paying again albeit may be a lower rate after 12 months if they product transfer which benefits TMW twice in just 12 months 1 day unless the borrower remortgages away. I think someone would be better off taking at least a 2 year fix of circa 1.3 - 1.6% interest rate with another lender offering a lower arr fee of circa £1500 or even a 5 year deal where the affordability assessment calc is more favourable & allows a higher LTV if needed & saves the borrower 2 lots of arr fees in-between.

Sounds a rubbish deal to me. I’ve recently moved my BTL Flexi Rate 3.54% (similar to an SVR) with Coventry BS on to their 2.19% Five Year Fixed and there was no product fee or any other fees. Admin was a piece of cake, sent me docs via email which I signed with DocuSign returned and in 24 hours job done.

Generally a fan of TMW, but their switch rates are often significantly higher than their rates to new lenders, so when you need to switch in a year's time, you will be stung. The Coventry switch sounds very good by contrast and looks similar to what's on offer for new borrowers - so a good, transparent, deal.
