Remember – if you have something quirky – we may be the lender to speak to!
Do you do regulated/family BTLs? How do you assess affordability?
Our Buy-to-Let calculator is a quick and easy way to check affordability, and works with our rental coverage of 135% using a stress rate of 5.65% (higher tax rate) and 125% using a stress rate of 5.65% (basic tax rate). We consider other income to support the application, known as top-slicing, if the ICR doesn’t work.

What do you have for Ex-pat residential?
We can consider main earners who work abroad with foreign currency incomes, while the family remain domiciled in the UK. We don’t haircut from the client’s foreign income and we use exchange rate on day of enquiry. The list of currencies we can consider can be found in our lending criteria under F.
Do you lend on Airbnb holiday lets?
Yes! Our holiday let mortgage product can be used for applicants who wish to let their property over shorter, more flexible rental periods. We will consider potential holiday-let income when assessing affordability and we also consider top-slicing and capital raising. The property must be located in a suitable holiday location to be considered.
Can you look at properties which have an annexe that is used for holiday letting/rental?
We do lend on properties with annexes and outbuildings! However, for annexes used for letting rental we would only look at remortgage applications, provided there was a proven track record of rental income.
