What portfolio lenders look for
-
Portfolio performance (rent coverage, voids, arrears).
-
Total leverage and background mortgages.
-
Stress rates (often 125–145% at a test rate).
-
Experience and documentation quality.
Limited company vs personal ownership
Company structures can improve tax efficiency for some landlords; personal ownership can be simpler. We’ll explain pros/cons and lender appetite for each.
Keep costs under control
We compare product fees vs rate, renewal timing, and the impact of valuation methods (bricks-and-mortar vs investment value).
