Portfolio landlords

Your Foundation for Portfolio Lending

Portfolio cases move faster when the process is simpler. At Foundation, we’ve removed unnecessary admin, simplified assessment, and made repeat cases easier, helping brokers submit with confidence and making mortgages happen for portfolio landlords.

Low admin, faster submissions

We strip portfolio applications back to what matters. No long checklists. No friction. And as a result, there’s a cleaner submission process and quicker turnaround for brokers and their clients.

We don’t ask for:
  • Bank statements
  • Business plans
  • Income proof
  • Asset & liability statements
We only need:
  • Portfolio schedule
  • Direct debit mandate

Clear stress testing. Predictable outcomes.

Our portfolio stress test is simple by design: 100% self‑sustaining. That’s it.

No complex modelling. Just clarity upfront, making decisions faster, outcomes more predictable, and conversations with landlords easier.

Built for repeat business

Once assessed, a portfolio is valid for six months with no repeat admin.

That means:

  • Faster second and third submissions
  • Less paperwork every time
  • Better pipeline planning

Larger portfolios can be considered by exception, giving brokers flexibility as portfolios grow.
