Looking to invest in property and become a landlord?
Buy To Let
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
Buy-to-let mortgages are more commonly offered as interest-only mortgages. This means you only repay the interest each month, and the full loan amount is repaid at the end of the term.
How Can We Help With Your Property Investment
Understanding Affordability
Rental Income Assessment
Lenders will assess your affordability based on the expected rental income from the property, ensuring it covers the mortgage payment.
Stress Test
Your affordability may also be tested against potential interest rate rises to ensure you can manage repayments even if rates increase.
