Understanding Buy to Let Mortgages

Everything you need to know before investing in property – and how we’ll help you get it right from the start.

What is a Buy to Let Mortgage?

A buy to let mortgage is designed for landlords purchasing a property to rent out. Unlike a residential mortgage, where the property is your home, this type is assessed on expected rental income.

Most buy to let mortgages are interest only, helping keep monthly payments lower and improving cash flow. You’ll usually need at least a 20% deposit, and lenders will assess rental yield, property type, and your personal situation before approving the loan.

How Do Buy to Let Mortgages Work?

Buy to let mortgages provide funding to purchase or remortgage rental properties. You can apply as a first-time landlord, experienced investor, or through a limited company.

Our advisors compare rates from leading lenders, explain how affordability and yield calculations work, and guide you on structuring your investment – whether personal or through a company – so you can plan long-term with confidence.

Who Are Buy to Let Mortgages For?

Buy to let mortgages suit anyone looking to earn income or grow wealth through property investment. They’re ideal for first-time landlords starting out, homeowners raising funds to buy a rental property, portfolio landlords expanding their holdings, and limited companies seeking tax-efficient ownership.

Whatever your goals, we’ll tailor our advice and find the right buy to let deal to fit your investment plans.

Have questions?

Clear answers to common landlord questions – from borrowing and tax to choosing the right deal.

Yes – stamp duty applies to buy to let purchases, usually at a higher rate than residential property. You can use our handy stamp duty calculator to see exactly how much you’ll pay before you buy.

We’ll look at your income, outgoings, and expected rental income to calculate how much you can borrow. Every lender has different criteria, and we’ll match you with the one offering the most suitable deal for your situation.

We’ll take the time to understand your goals – whether that’s maximising income, flexibility, or long-term growth – and then recommend the best deal from thousands of mortgages across 90+ lenders.

That depends on your priorities. We’ll explain how each option works and help you decide what’s right for you, whether you value payment stability or prefer flexibility to remortgage sooner.

Yes, but it’s classed as a regulated buy to let (sometimes called a family buy to let). Lenders treat these differently from standard buy to lets, and we’ll guide you to the right type of mortgage for this situation.

Yes – rental income is subject to income tax if you own the property personally, or corporation tax if it’s owned through a limited company. We always recommend seeking tax advice before buying.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer – it depends on your financial goals and tax position. We’ll work alongside your accountant to help you understand the pros and cons of each route and find the best mortgage to match.
