BTL Evidence required

Hi guys, looking at a few BTL T&C's most just ask for last 3 payslips and P60, is this because they don't really take into account your income? All you need is the rent to cover 125% of the mortgage payments?

Residential mortgages usually ask for 3 months bank statements also?

I guess obviously you need to be earning also to cover any costs if property empty for a while?

Comments

  • Completely depends on the individual lender's policy. Not all will require bank statements for residential mortgage applications.
    Payslips and the like should be sufficient to evidence your income typically, unless you receive anything in addition to your salary (such as child benefit).
    Slummy mummy!
