Supporting you with Buy to Let (BTL) mortgages

From Wednesday 6th October, we are launching our new BTL proposition for Intermediaries.

BTL policy overview

  • Applications are assessed on a Rental Funded basis only
  • Rental income must cover 125% (basic rate tax payers) or 145% (high rate tax payers) of the stressed mortgage repayment
  • Maximum loan to values:
    • 75% for borrowing up to £1,000,000
    • 65% LTV for borrowing from £1,000,001 to £2,000,000
    • 60% LTV and maximum of £50,000 additional lending for debt consolidation purposes.
  • A stressed rate of 5.5% will be used unless:
    • A product term of at least 5 years is selected (e.g. 5/10 year fixed rate); or
    • A remortgage where the debt is not increasing (like-for-like remortgage)
    • For the two above scenarios, a stressed rate of 4.99% will be used
  • Applications can be completed for Purchase, Remortgage, Let to Buy, Unencumbered, Additional Borrowing, Porting or Product Switches
  • For new borrowing, a procuration fee of 0.5% will be paid upon completion. For a product switch, a procuration fee of 0.2% will be paid after the switch date
  • Our BTL calculator can be used to determine if your customer’s rental income is sufficient for a BTL mortgage
