HOW ICR RULES COULD BE LIMITING YOU
Most landlords are declined due to structure — not their income
Most landlords are told:
❌ “Your rental income isn’t enough”
❌ “You don’t meet the stress test”
❌ “You’ll need a much larger deposit”
What a low ICR can really mean:
⚠️ Higher interest rates than expected
⚠️ Borrowing reduced — often across your entire portfolio
⚠️ Applications declined or restricted
And lenders are getting stricter:
📊 Stress testing at 7%+ (even on fixed rates)
📊 ICR requirements up to 145%–175%
📊 Lower loan-to-values and tighter criteria
What this could be costing you:
❌ £50,000+ less borrowing than you should be getting
❌ Deals falling through at the last minute
❌ Portfolio growth completely stalled
❌ Being declined when approval was possible
But here’s what most landlords don’t realise:
👉 Not all lenders use the same ICR rules
👉 Some accept lower stress rates
👉 Some work with complex income and SPV structures
Most landlords aren’t stuck — they’re just structured the wrong way
WHY ICR RULES ARE HOLDING YOU BACK — AND HOW TO FIX IT
Most landlords don’t realise how much lenders limit their borrowing
👉 It’s not just your deal — it’s how lenders calculate risk
Here’s what’s really happening:
⚠️ Stress rates can be as high as 7%+ (even on fixed deals)
⚠️ ICR requirements can reach 145%–175%
⚠️ Rental income needs to be far higher than expected
What this means for you:
❌ You’re offered less than you expected
❌ You’re asked for larger deposits
❌ You’re blocked from growing your portfolio
But here’s the key difference:
👉 Not all lenders use the same calculations
👉 Some allow significantly more borrowing
👉 The right structure can unlock your next deal
AVOID THESE COSTLY MISTAKES PROPERTY INVESTORS MAKE
Most landlords don’t realise they’re making these mistakes — until it costs them a deal
❌ Choosing the wrong lender criteria
👉 Not all lenders assess ICR the same way
👉 Using the wrong one can reduce your borrowing significantly
❌ Focusing only on rates, not structure
👉 The cheapest rate doesn’t always mean the best deal
👉 Poor structuring can limit your future borrowing
❌ Applying without a clear strategy
👉 Many landlords get declined because the deal isn’t positioned correctly
❌ Not planning for future growth
👉 What works today may block your next purchase
🔥 What this means in real terms:
⚠️ Missed investment opportunities
⚠️ Lower portfolio growth
⚠️ Wasted time with failed applications

👩💼 Client Profile:
A property investor with a mix of self-employed income and rental income.

The client struggled with a low ICR due to fluctuating rental income and a complex income structure.
🔍 My Solution:
I worked closely with the client’s accountant and found a lender that offered a flexible ICR calculation, allowing them to borrow more.

✔ Increased borrowing by £350,000
