Buy to let income verification

We don’t routinely ask for personal income verification for buy to let applications, subject to underwriters discretion.

Income verification will always be required:
✓ When surplus income is being used (top-slicing)
✓ For first time landlords
✓ For Individual name applications where the rent doesn’t meet the maximum ICR required for a high rate or additional rate tax payer
