Owner Occupier Affordability:
• We have updated our stress rate methodology. This is likely to produce a higher affordability result for most applications
• All Interest-Only applications which have no associated cost to the repayment strategy (such as downsizing, sale of another property etc.) will be assessed against the Interest-Only payment regardless of the mortgage term requested
Buy to Let:
• We have reduced our minimum Interest Coverage Ratio requirement for all Limited Company BTL applications to 125%
• HMO and MUFB applications will now be accepted up to a maximum of 75% LTV
• HMO applications will now be accepted for personal name UK and Expat landlords
