Cambridge Building Society has brought back top-slicing on its buy-to-let deals, allowing landlords to use their other earnings to top-up any shortfall on their rental income calculation.

It is available on loans between £20,000 and £750,000 at up to 75% LTV.

Landlords can make use of top-slicing on a maximum of three mortgaged properties.

The facility applies across the lender’s standard buy-to-let range.

Head of lending Tracy Simpson says: “We’re thrilled to be able to introduce top slicing back into our lending criteria, this has proved extremely popular when previously available, and will undoubtedly make things easier for our landlords after a challenging period.

“We are always looking for ways to support our customers and being able to consider each case individually through our underwriting service, means we can tailor our offering to the unique circumstances of individual landlords.”
