Low but Provable Income
There are now more lenders than ever who just need to see that an applicant does have some form of provable personal income, apart from the rent to be generated by the HMO property. These lenders do not stipulate any minimum income requirement, so any amount of annual income can be accepted, subject to this being in-step with the applicant’s financial circumstances. These lenders are extremely useful for many employed people where commission, or bonuses are not guaranteed, or they have a a second job, plus self employed people with low net profits and retired people with modest pension incomes.
A wide range of properties can be accommodated, with mortgages available up to 85% of property purchase price (or property value for remortgages). Interest only is readily available and applicants do not need letting experience with some of these lenders.
