Removal of £100,000 rental limit

We have removed the maximum accepted annual rental limit of £100,000 across all our buy to let loan sizes. This change will allow greater flexibility for customers with higher rental income properties, ensuring we continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

Some things to note…

• Tenancy:
  • Common Law Tenancies where rental is over £100,000 and the term is a maximum period of 12 months are now acceptable. Other types of Common Law Tenancies, such as letting to a company or the Landlord being resident, are not accepted.
• All other terms and conditions remain unchanged
