Buy to Let Mortgages

Buying a property to let out offers the appealing prospect of a potential rental income, plus the possibility of equity to unlock later if property values increase. While average property prices across the UK have risen only modestly in recent years, the rental market has been thriving.

The key to making a buy-to-let venture work for you is finding the right property along with the best possible mortgage deal. That’s why it’s so important to take impartial mortgage advice.

If you are considering investing in a buy to let property for the first time, speaking with us about the pros and cons could be a sensible first step.

While buy-to-let mortgages are similar to residential home loans, there are some very important differences.

For example, buy-to-let mortgages require a larger deposit than regular loans (typically 25%), and you’ll need to show most lenders that the rent will cover your interest payments on the mortgage by at least 125%.

Buy-to-let property is a long-term investment which you hope will generate an income from rents and capital gain when you sell the property. It is important to remember that there is no guarantee that you'll make a profit on the investment and if access to cash is needed, then a property may take time to sell or remortgage.

When investing in property to rent, you should also consider potential 'void periods' when you may have no rental income.

It is always necessary to maintain access to an emergency fund to cover your mortgage payments during times when you may have no tenant and the property is not let.
