ANNOUNCEMENT
TSB has made some changes to lending criteria from today, Friday 20 November.
Here’s a summary of the changes:
Income multiple
Reduced the maximum loan-to-income multiple for >85% LTV lending, where the total income is
more than £40,000, from 4.5 to 4.49.
Self-employed policy
Temporarily introduced new lending criteria for self-employed customers.
Maximum loan-to-value is now capped at 75% and maximum loan to income at 4.25 times income
for applications.
TSB requires at least 2 years’ of finalised business income documentation for all self-employed
applicants. This policy is applied where one or more applicants are self-employed.
Please note: TSB’s affordability calculator does not currently support the criteria for self-employed
applications.

New 85-90% LTV First Time Buyer 5 year fixed product.
On Friday 27 November, TSB is launching a new 85-90% LTV First Time Buyer product.
- 5 year fixed, 85-90% LTV, 3.79%, £995 fee with £500 cashback.
In October TSB launched a new product range just for First Time Buyers which reverts to a follow-
on tracker rate of 2.59% instead of TSBs current HVR (3.59%).
Raising a deposit is often the biggest challenge customers face so TSB has introduced up to 90%
LTV to support them.
TSB is committed to bringing back 90% LTV lending to more products as soon as possible.
