flag HSBC UK raises max mortgage loan-to-income for Premier customers to 6.5x, boosting borrowing power for high earners.

flag HSBC UK has raised its maximum mortgage loan-to-income ratio to 6.5 times annual income for Premier account holders, up from 5.0 to 5.5 times, allowing higher earners to borrow more—up to £488,000 for a £75,000 earner and £650,000 for a £100,000 earner. flag Eligibility requires a minimum £100,000 income or £100,000 in HSBC savings/investments, plus a 10% deposit. flag The change, effective October 3, reflects confidence in Premier customers’ financial resilience and aims to boost market share amid a more flexible lending environment. flag Meanwhile, Nationwide Building Society expanded interest-only mortgages to first-time buyers through brokers, requiring income thresholds and approved repayment plans. flag Industry experts note the shifts signal growing lender appetite, though demand may be affected by upcoming tax policy changes.
