A rate of 4.8 with a 5% fee. Ouch! If you do maths, that doesn’t sound particularly newsworthy.

5%set up fee is ridiculous
I’ll be selling all mine in a few years if the rates and these stupid set up fees aren’t any better, after my fixes end, I’m not working for the banks, which is whats happening now, development even more risky with high bridge costs and down valuation common

The ‘set-up’ fees are just the lenders way of ‘helping’ borrowers to take in debt that the property doesn’t merit.
Of course, all that they are really doing is helping themselves to your equity.
