We’re increasing our residential LTI cap for higher incomes
We’re pleased to let you know that we’re reverting our residential loan-to-income (LTI) cap to five times for clients whose household income is £60,000 and above.
From Wednesday 20 January, affordability will be calculated as follows:
- At 4.49 times for incomes less than £60,000 (as it has always been)
- At five times for incomes of £60,000 and above
This change applies to both residential new lending cases and additional borrowing for existing Accord clients.
Back in October 2020, LTI caps were standardised to 4.49 for all incomes to help us manage service levels. Since then we’ve recruited more colleagues and this has improved application handling, so this measure is no longer needed.
What about existing applications?
For residential cases already submitted, we’ll continue to process these applications using the 4.49 LTI cap
