About buy to let mortgages


Buy to let mortgages are a little different. That's because they've been specially designed to help out landlords like yourself. And like houses, they too come with special fixtures and fittings to make your life even easier!

What’s different about buy to let mortgages?


Buy to let mortgages are based on the likely rental income of the property, not how much you earn. You can borrow up to 85% of a property’s value (a percentage known as loan to value), so you'll need a deposit for the rest. Interest rates also tend to be slightly higher than normal mortgages.

Are there different buy to let mortgages?


Yes – what’s right for you probably depends on one key question, ‘do you need an income straight away?’ If you do, you’ll probably want to keep your mortgage as small as possible to keep expenses down. If you don’t, you could consider aiming for ‘tax neutrality’, taking a bigger mortgage so that the rental income and running costs roughly balance each other out and there’s no ‘profit’ for the taxman to get his claws into.


Fixed, discounted, or tracker?
 
Just like any other mortgage, buy to let mortgages come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. What’s best for you really depends on what’s likely to happen to interest rates and how much stability you want around your mortgage payments. There’s also your loan to value ratio and whether it’s a single property or part of a bigger portfolio. Don’t worry, we’re here to help you choose.
