Top Mortgage Companies 2016

Loans for buy-to-let and second home loans were forecast to surge in the first three months of 2016 before the 3% additional tax on stamps came into effect on April 1. The buy-to-let selling rate slackened afterwards, but is now on the rise again. Ministry of Finance has given new authority to the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) to lead the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the settlement of buy-to-lease contracts.

If the FPC considers that these intervention measures are necessary for stable markets, the FPC is now in a position to limit loan-to-value and interest coverages. PRA will introduce new buy-to-lease regulations to evaluate the borrower's salary, individual conditions and rent calculation of buy-to-lease properties.

According to the new regulations, creditors must carry out a load test with a minimal interest of 5. 5 percent for the first five years of the buy-to-lease mortgage. The interest cover must be at least 125%, although a number of creditors have increased to 145%. Creditors must also differentiate between lessors with small real estate fleets of three or fewer buy-to-lease objects and those with four or more real estate.

Initial creditors can gradually introduce this and decide to upgrade the KFIs to a KFI+ by then, but second creditors had to have the ESIS available by MCD Day One (21 March 2016). A number of first creditors, such as the Skipton Building Society, decided to rely directly on ESIS.

Even the end-user is now subject to the FCA regime, and that affects about every tenth buy-to-lease loan. Rather than the end of the rental business, the scheme is intended for the smaller lessor. Since the MCD introduces changes to FX lending, creditors need to take additional measures to safeguard customers against exposure to FXR.

Creditors must inform clients on a regular basis if there is a 20% or more difference between the conversion price and the price in force at the date of the mortgage agreement, and allow clients to change the credit into an alternate denomination.
