Buy to Let

Residential Buy to Let investment mortgages are designed for individuals, limited companies and LLPs, who are looking to purchase or refinance property to rent out, profiting from rental income and property value appreciation.

Typically, we can arrange residential Buy to Let up to 85% of the value of the property. This depends on the level of rental income, the loan to valuation, the industry sector, the type of tenant, the length of the lease and the borrower’s investment experience and credit rating.

Buy to let mortgages are available typically on properties valued £50,000 and above on either interest only or capital repayment terms.

We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver funding to clients on all applications. Including our ability to meet tight purchase deadlines including property auction purchases, manage portfolios considering future acquisitions and remortgages, ensuring you are not leaving yourself over-geared or unable to continue to the next step in your business.

Understanding

Buy-to-Let Mortgages

Rental Income

Lenders typically assess the property’s rental income potential when determining the maximum loan amount. The property’s rental yield and the borrower’s affordability play a crucial role in securing a buy-to-let mortgage

Deposit Requirements

Generally, buy-to-let mortgages require a higher deposit compared to residential mortgages. Typically, a deposit of 25% or more is required, although some lenders may offer lower deposit options.

Interest Rates

Buy-to-let mortgage interest rates can vary based on several factors, including the loan-to-value ratio, the borrower’s credit history, and the type of mortgage (fixed or variable rate).

Affordability and Stress Testing

Lenders assess the borrower’s ability to afford the mortgage, considering both the rental income and the borrower’s personal income. Additionally, lenders often conduct stress tests to ensure the borrower can still afford repayments even if interest rates rise.

Considerations for Buy-to-Let Investors

Location and Property Selection

Choosing the right location and property is crucial for a successful buy-to-let investment. Consider factors such as rental demand, proximity to amenities and transportation, and the potential for capital appreciation.

Rental Market Analysis

Conduct thorough research on the local rental market to understand current rental rates, vacancy rates, and tenant preferences. This information will help you set appropriate rent levels and attract reliable tenants.

Property Management

Decide whether you will manage the property yourself or employ the services of a professional property management company. Property management companies can handle tasks such as tenant screening, rent collection, and property maintenance, saving you time and effort.

Tax Implications

Familiarise yourself with the tax regulations related to buy-to-let investments, including income tax on rental income, stamp duty, and capital gains tax.

Case Studies

your mortgage consultants

We originally had a client who purchased a run-down property in need of refurbishment, which we financed using a short term loan.  Once the works were completed, we were able to refinance the property onto a long term buy to let mortgage.  We did this within 6 months of the original purchase, against the uplifted value.
