We’ve been busy working on improvements to our product range and we’re pleased to confirm the following updates are now live:
1. Maximum loan size
- We can lend up to £1million across the following ranges:
- Standard residential up to 80% LTV
- Expat residential
- Expat buy to let
- Buy to let
- Holiday let
2. Family applications
We know that rising house prices means that it is sometimes necessary for family members to purchase a property together, so we’ll now consider these applicants across all products. This includes lending for expat, holiday let and second homes.
3. Buy to let indebtedness
We’ve removed our 10 times indebtedness rule and will now judge outstanding credit commitments on a common-sense basis. Our maximum portfolio size remains as three buy to let and/or holiday let properties, or 10 background properties on a residential application.
4. AST for professionals
We now allow landlords to let their property to three unrelated professionals on a single AST.
Charlotte Grimshaw, Head of Intermediary Relations, commented: “Relaxing our criteria in these four areas means that we can help with a greater number of broker cases, with clients benefitting from our common-sense approach to underwriting.”
