What are the new buy-to-let criteria from lenders and will I still qualify for investment property finance?
Quick Answer
Lenders have tightened buy-to-let criteria with higher stress tests and interest cover ratios (ICRs) due to the rising base rate, making qualification harder. Strong applications and attractive properties remain fundable.
