Investing in property can be a sound financial decision, but it’s crucial consider your options
A buy-to-let mortgage can be the key to unlocking your property investment goals.
Understanding The Buy To Let Process
Key Differences
Deposit
The minimum deposit required for a buy-to-let mortgage is typically higher than a residential mortgage, often around 25%
Interest Rates
Buy-to-let mortgages typically have higher interest rates compared to residential mortgages.
Loan-to-Value Ratio
This ratio reflects the amount you borrow compared to the property value. Lenders may impose stricter LTV limits on buy-to-let mortgages.
Repayment Options
