Lenders assess buy-to-let on rental cover rather than your income. We compare landlord lenders across the market.

Buy-to-Let Mortgages

How lenders assess buy-to-let

Buy-to-let lending is based mainly on the rent, not your salary. Lenders apply an interest coverage ratio (ICR), commonly 125% for basic-rate taxpayers and 145% for higher-rate, stress-tested at a notional rate of around 5.5%. This calculator shows the maximum loan the rent supports and your gross yield.

Criteria vary widely between landlord lenders, and the right one depends on your tax position, portfolio and the property. As a whole-of-market broker we find the lender that fits.

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Not all buy-to-let mortgages are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We contacted John for advice about our mortgage and financial options. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to point us in the right direction. We really appreciated his guidance and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
