BTL FSCR affordability
The Finance Service Coverage Ratio (FSCR) has been simplified:
- For basic rate taxpayers or a Limited Company purchasing a standard residential property, the rate is 125% for purchasing individual BTLs or as part of a portfolio
- For higher and additional rate taxpayers purchasing a BTL property individually or as part of a portfolio, the rate is 145%
- Where Top-slicing is required, a minimum FSCR of 110% for Limited Companies and 115% for individuals will be required
- Please refer to our criteria guides for further information here
