Borrowing from The Mortgage Works has just got harder

Existing customers who want to raise additional money from The Mortgage Works may face disappointment due to recent rental calculation criteria changes.

the mortgage worksIf you are an existing The Mortgage Works customer you will probably be shocked to find out that this juggernaut of the buy to let mortgage market has put the brakes on lending by hardening its rental coverage requirement from 125% to 145% coverage.

That’s right the Nationwide-owned firm announced last month it was increasing its rental yield cover over the mortgage payment by a massive 20 percentage points.

The explanation given has gravitas as they expect interest rates to rise and also the tax changes planned for April 2017 to put a strain on Landlords reserves and ability to ride out rental voids. It’s difficult to argue The Mortgage Works view but it has certainty sent out a shockwave through the buy to let world with Keystone Mortgages following suit already.

The Mortgage Work Rental Changes

So what do these changes really mean? For example: someone looking to get a £200,000 Buy to Let Mortgage from The Mortgage Works will need an extra rental yield of £166.33 per calendar month.

Table providing examples of the impact of Rental Calculation Change

Loan Monthly mortgage payment* Current Rental Formula (125%) New Rental Formula (145%) Extra rent now needed pcm
£150,000 £623.75 £779.69 £904.43 £124.75
£200,000 £831.67 £1,039.59 £1,205.92 £166.33
£300,000 £1247.50 £1,559.38 £2,261.10 £249.50
£500,000 £2079.17 £2,598.96 £3,014.79 £415.83

*Based on an interest only loan TMW at 4.99% (their standard stress tested rate).

AS A MORTGAGE IS SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME OR PROPERTY, IT COULD BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP THE MORTGAGE REPAYMENTS.
