WHY SPV LANDLORDS STRUGGLE TO BORROW AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD

Many landlords invest through an SPV expecting smoother borrowing and better tax efficiency. Instead, they find themselves offered less than expected — or declined altogether — without a clear explanation.

Lenders assess SPV applications very differently from personal buy-to-let. Stress testing, affordability assumptions, and internal lender models often restrict borrowing, even when rental income looks healthy and the portfolio is performing well.

This leaves many experienced landlords questioning their figures, injecting more capital than planned, or delaying growth — when the real issue isn’t the investment, but how the application has been structured and where it’s been placed.

This is where most SPV borrowing strategies quietly break down.

HOW LENDER STRESS TESTS AND ICR RULES RESTRICT SPV BORROWING

Many landlords run into problems because:

 • Stress rates can be set as high as 7.5%, even if you’re fixing at a much lower rate

• ICR thresholds can reach 170–175%, requiring significantly higher rental income

• You’re asked to reduce borrowing or increase your deposit, even when the numbers feel strong

• Refinancing or expanding your portfolio starts to feel frustratingly out of reach

SECURE YOUR NEXT MORTGAGE BY GETTING ICR RIGHT

Company directors discussing challenges

I work with landlords applying through SPVs or limited companies who want clear, strategic advice to overcome borrowing restrictions — particularly when it comes to the challenges of the ICR test.

I don’t just look at what lenders require. I take the time to understand your wider financial picture, so your mortgage is structured to satisfy lender criteria, optimise your tax position, and align with your long-term business goals — all in a way your accountant would approve of.

Whether you’re expanding your portfolio or refinancing existing properties, I’ll help you navigate complex lending rules with tailored solutions that make financial sense — not just now, but in the years ahead.

Real SPV Mortgage Success Stories: See What’s Possible

Case study 1: SPV mortgage for a portfolio landlord with complex income

👩‍💼 Client Profile:
A company director with a growing buy-to-let portfolio.

⚠️ The Challenge:
The client wanted to refinance multiple properties through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to make their borrowing more tax-efficient. However, they struggled to find a lender who would consider their income structure (a mix of salary and dividends) and the number of properties already held.

🔍 My Solution:
I worked closely with the client’s accountant to present their income in a way that aligned with lender affordability models. We used a lender that accepted SPV applications with no minimum income requirement and supported complex portfolios.

Outcome:
✔ Successfully refinanced £750,000 across several properties.
✔ Secured a competitive fixed rate through the SPV.
✔ Reduced tax liability and positioned the client for future expansion.

💬 Client Testimonial:
“As a company director, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to borrow enough to secure the buy-to-let property I had my eye on. But with Lyndsey’s expert guidance and access to specialist lenders, I secured the higher borrowing I needed. I now own a solid investment property and have a clear strategy in place to grow my portfolio.”

Case Study 2: Smart SPV Mortgage for Tax-Efficient Portfolio Growth

👩‍💼 Client Profile:
Anthony – an experienced landlord with a portfolio of rental properties and income drawn from both property and limited company dividends.

⚠️ The Challenge:
Anthony wanted to refinance multiple properties through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to make his borrowing more tax-efficient. However, he struggled to find a lender who would consider his income structure (a mix of salary and dividends) and the number of properties already held.

🔍 My Solution:
I worked closely with Anthony’s accountant to present his income in a way that aligned with lender affordability models. We used a lender that accepted SPV applications with no minimum income requirement and supported complex portfolios.

Outcome:
✔️ £200,000 capital released to fund the purchase of another property
✔️ Lower monthly repayments via a tailored interest-only setup
✔️ £1,200 monthly cash reserve created, improving liquidity
✔️ £2,500+ increase in monthly rental income from the new investment
✔️ A solid financial base to grow his portfolio further without over-leveraging

💬 Client Testimonial:
