125% @ 5.5% on single unit – unless 5 year fixed, then calculated at product pay rate.
Yes - consider LTB applications on referral. The maximum the Society will lend depends on the interest coverage ratio (ICR) and/or an income affordability test. The mortgage will be considered to be self-supporting if the ICR is at least 145% of the monthly payment at an assumed reference rate, currently 5.5%.

The exception to this is for five-year fixed rate mortgages (where available), for which the ICR requirement is 145% at the product pay rate.

If the mortgage is not self-supporting at the stressed rate, the shortfall in the rental income received and the rental income required in order to be self-supporting must be covered by the borrower’s personal income using a net free pay calculation which takes into account net income, personal expenditure, the residential mortgage payment at an assumed stressed rate and any deficit from rental income from any other BTL properties, also at an assumed stressed rate. In all instances where personal affordability is being considered alongside the rental income, the ICR must equal or exceed 145% at the product pay rate.

Warnings
For Let to Buy applications, the Society will require sight of the mortgage offer for the proposed residential purchase prior to the release of the Let to Buy offer.
Do not credit score, look at credit history and voters roll information. For any instances of imperfect credit or missing voters roll please refer to the sales team. Will only credit search on receipt of a fully packaged application, at this point a full footprint will be left. There is not credit searching done at DIP stage, therefore a DIP will not leave any mark on the client credit file.

2) No lending will be considered on a property that is within or has an attachment to serviced apartments or if the valuer deems the property as a serviced apartment rather than a holiday let.
3) Clients would need to have experience of letting via AirBNB and we would want this supported with AirBNB credits seen via the clients bank statements.
4) Axis will require the appropriate insurances in place that covers for this type of letting.
