We’ve updated our property criteria

We’ve updated our Residential and Buy to Let valuation policy and lending standards, giving you more options when supporting clients with a wider range of properties.

From Monday 2 November, the changes include:

Ex Local Authority flats with open balcony or deck access: Now acceptable where there is secure access to the ground floor of the block.
 • Properties with cladding: We’ll consider owner occupied properties requiring remediation with a B2 rating, subject to our criteria.
 • Properties on Scottish Islands: Now acceptable.
 • Single unit Buy to Let: Maximum property values have increased to £3m in London and the South East and £2m across the rest of the UK for specialist Buy to Let applications.

For the full criteria, including our requirements for properties with cladding, check our Property and Valuation Guide.
