Non status Buy To Let Mortgage

  • Yes I am a FTB.
    I am not looking at a specific property at present, just wondering what the formula is in determining the BTL mortgage that would be available to me given the known parameters: deposit and my own income. Once this is known, I can then begin looking at property prices and researching the likely rental incomes to see if this is viable.

    Does anyone know how this works?

    Rental income needs to cover the mortgage payments.

    Different lenders have different calculation, so no one-size-fits-all answer.

    Rule of thumb - allow for 125% rental coverage.

    Incidentally chaps, there is no such thing as 'non status' anymore (apart from with high charging small private lenders). You will need to enter income and job details even though these might not necessarily be checked.

    Not you, I mean't the enquirers here.:p

    I keep getting enquiries from people on using B2L instead of resi mortgages as they bare under the impression B2L lending is less tight, but if anything I find B2L lending to be tighter than resi. There's only a handful of B2L lenders and in my experience they want very sound and high qaulity applicants.

    The rep from BM was telling me they've banned a lot of brokers recently, on the back of income checks into those self dec B2L cases. Some of those checks made after completion. SOME APPLICANTS HAD BEEN FOUND TO BE SUPPLYING THOSE INTERNET PAYSLIPS, BUT UNDERWRITERS HAVE THEM PINNED TO THE WALL AND LOOK OUT FOR CERTAIN CHARACTERISTS.

    The more they ban the better.

    There is no place for that kind activity in the market.

    The Mortgage Works do not require a minimum income. Rental income has to be 125% or the I/O payments and LTV is limited to 70%.

    thats what i heard but its high fee and interest about 5.7 % fixed and then 3.5% fee seems expensive to me
