Buy to Let mortgages

Whether your customer's a first time landlord or has been through the process before, we offer a wide range of fixed rate Buy to Let mortgages to make their day. 

Our range of products mean your customers can choose a mortgage which either solely uses rental income (ICR) to calculate their affordability or, if they qualify, uses a mix of rental and personal income to boost their loan amount (we call this Top Slicing). You can create an AIP for either range with a soft footprint, only leaving a hard footprint once your customer is ready to proceed to a full application.

See the different criteria for both Buy to Let products below and check the affordability here.
