Standard criteria:

  • BuytoLet products are available for holiday lets (very unusual)
  • Stress tested at 125% interest cover on SVR+1% which allows you to borrow 160.26 times the monthly rental income
  • Minimum income requirement £20,000 for sole or £30,000 for joint applications
  • HMOs are acceptable  subject to a maximum of 4 tenants on a single AST
  • Maximum number of 5 properties allowed in a portfolio regardless of lender
  • Min Loan £25,000 max £250,000 or up to £500,00 if referred
  • All applicants must be an owner occupier or party to a residential mortgage
  • Only available in England and Wales

As you can see from the above the biggest niche areas for this lender are the low lenders fees and more unusually the ability to consider a holiday let.

However yet again this is another lender that discriminates against professional landlords with the maximum number of BuytoLet properties you are allowed to own in your portfolio being five.
