Latest changes to our lending criteria: October 2020
During the current situation we will continue to review our lending criteria on a daily basis and will continue to react as appropriate. The following changes have been made:

Any applications for Standard Residential products received after close of business on 30 October must be wholly on a Capital & interest (Repayment) basis.
- Our ExPat BTL is not available if you are living in an EEA country.
- Maximum LTV of up to 75% for residential, buy-to-let, shared ownership and help-to-buy.
- We will, however, accept shared ownership up to 95% of share providing the overall LTV doesn’t exceed 75%
- If self-employed - 3 years accounts mandatory, maximum income multiple is 4.5x
- Contractors must have a 2 year history of contracting, with 6 months remaining on the current contract. Maximum income multiplier is 4.5x
