Don’t assume your client won’t qualify!

Think portfolio landlords start at 3 properties? Think again.

Many lenders only class borrowers as portfolio landlords if they own 3 or more Buy-to-let properties.

At Mercantile Trust just 1 buy-to-let property qualifies as a portfolio landlord

  • We do not stress test the background portfolio
  • We do not have a cap on the number of Buy-to-Let properties held in the portfolio
  • We assess affordability at a Flat DSCR of 125%, regardless of tax bracket even for LTD and HMOs
  • We use surplus rental income from other  properties  within the portfolio to make up the shortfall.
  • No minimum personal income is required (first time buyers/landlords £22,500)
  • Lending to Personal or Limited company borrowers

Our experienced team reviews every application individually, helping you find solutions for clients who may have been declined elsewhere.
