Buy to Let

We have temporarily restricted our lending criteria and withdrawn a number of our mortgage products, including those for buy to let. For the latest updates and essential information during the COVID-19 pandemic read our FAQs.

More options for your landlord clients.

We can help with purchases and remortgages for properties being let out to tenants, for clients with small portfolios rather than commercial investors. Our discount rate products offer topslicing, so for cases not meeting rental cover requirements we're able to use personal income to make up the shortfall. Whilst we won't lend on BTL to first time buyers we will consider applicant who have previously held a mortgage.

We require 145% rental cover when calculating affordability. For transitional cases, we use 125%.

We require a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) confirming that the property meets the minimum required standards for energy efficiency (rated E or above).
