- Tenant affordability: referencing at 30× means a household income of about £62,550 a year for the average rent.
- EPC before 2030: 37% of EPCs lodged in Ealing over the last year were below band C — the level a rented home needs by 1 October 2030 — with 33% at D (EPC ratings in Ealing).
- Council tax: Band D in Ealing is £2,139 for 2026/27, and the council charges a 100% second-home premium (council tax in Ealing).
Lender maths on the averages. At a 5.5% stress rate and 145% rent cover — the common buy-to-let convention — the average rent of £2,085 supports a loan of about £313,730, which is 54.5% of the average price. That falls short of 75% loan-to-value, so a buyer of an average home here needs a larger deposit or a stronger rent to pass the stress test. Both numbers are conventions rather than rules — change them in the stress test.
