Our lending criteria

We define a portfolio landlord as someone with four or more mortgaged buy-to-let properties.

For joint applications, we'll take into account the total individual and joint-mortgaged properties that you own, either in your personal name, or in the name of a limited company or other legal entity.

Please note: our standard buy-to-let lending criteria also applies.

Our standard buy-to-let lending criteria explained
  • Minimum rental calculation of 145% interest coverage ratio (ICR) stressed at the product rate +2%, a nominal rate of 5.5% or the BTL Variable Rate, whichever is higher. For five year fixed rate products it’s the product rate + 1% or a nominal rate of 4.5%, whichever is higher.
  • If you’re remortgaging and don’t require additional borrowing, the rental income must cover at least 125% ICR, stressed at the product rate +1% or a nominal rate of 5%, whichever is higher.
  • Where personal income is used for affordability we require a minimum personal income of £50,000 (excluding income received from BTL properties).

What we'll need from you

In addition to the normal documents you need to submit as part of your mortgage application, i.e. identity and income verification, we also need portfolio landlords to provide us with some supporting information.

Our mortgage advisors will explain what we need, when we need it and how to send it to us. You can download copies of these documents here:
