Rental Calculation

BTL/HMO: The required Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) will depend on the property type and whether or not we are lending to a limited company.

ICR will be calculated using a stressed rate of 5.5%, or the initial pay rate + 1.55%, whichever is higher.

However, the following exceptions apply:
if the case is a remortgage with no additional borrowing, ICR will be calculated using the initial pay rate + 1.05%, with no minimum stress rate.
if the 5 year fixed rate is being used, ICR will be calculated using the initial pay rate, with no additional margin or minimum stress rate.
