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.
