Property Investors Celebrate Removal Of Income Requirement From Buy-To-Let Mortgages

Buy-To-Let Mortgages On Offer
Based On Rental Income

There is good news for UK based property investors looking for a buy-to-let mortgage as lenders are beginning to understand how landlords make profit from property. Now one lender is taking the lead and offering buy-to-let mortgages based on rental income without worrying about a borrowers personal income.

Mortgage lender, BM Solutions, part of the Lloyds banking group, has removed their minimum £25,000 (GBP) income requirement from all of their buy-to-let mortgages.

Instead, the lender will make a buy-to-let mortgage offer based on the potential rental income expected to be generated by the rental property purchase, rather than being based on a borrower’s employed earnings.

The BM Solutions Buy-To-Let mortgage affordability calculation remains at 125% of the rental income, but the overall lending criteria have been tightened.
