Lending Criteria and Information

Property	Minimum property value £50,000
Term	Minimum 5 years Maximum 40 years
Age	Minimum 21 years, no maximum subject to income at retirement
Repayment Types	Repayment, interest only
Underwriting	We take a flexible approach to underwriting and will consider each application on its merits. We do not credit score. The actual rate and APR for your case will depend upon your circumstances and our assessment of the risk.

Income Multiples
The amount we will lend will depend on the value of the property and a calculation based on income and expenditure. As a guide, we will take gross annual income and then apply a deduction for the annual amount paid towards any existing debts. We apply the following multipliers to the amount remaining:

Income after deductions	Sole Borrower	Joint Borrowers
£0 - £15,000	3.5 x	3.5 x higher + 1 x lower or 3 x joint incomes
£15,001 - £25,000	3.75 x	3.75 x higher + 1 x lower or 3.5 x joint incomes
£25,001 - £50,000	4 x	4 x
Over £50,000	4.25 x	4.25 x

These multiples are for guidance only. We will consider increases to these multiples where it can be justified.
