A "Buy to Let" mortgage is a type of mortgage designed for individuals who want to purchase residential properties with the intention of renting them out to tenants.
If you’re looking for an investment property to rent out, whether on a personal basis or via a limited company, you may need advice on buy-to-let mortgages.
Many buy-to-let landlords now purchase via a limited company due to tax changes introduced in the last couple of years.

These mortgages are tailored specifically for property investment and differ from regular residential mortgages in several key ways.
Rental Income
Buy-to-Let mortgages are primarily assessed based on the property's potential rental income rather than the borrower's personal income. Lenders consider whether the rental income will cover the mortgage payments.
Larger Deposits
Typically, Buy-to-let mortgages require larger initial deposits, often around 25% of the property's value or more.
Interest Rates
Interest rates on buy-to-let mortgages may be higher than those for regular residential mortgages.
Eligibility Criteria
Lenders have specific eligibility criteria for Buy to Let borrowers, considering factors like the borrower's creditworthiness and the property's potential rental income.
Tax Implications
There are tax implications to consider, including income tax on rental income and potential capital gains tax upon selling the property.
Property Investment
Buy-to-let mortgages are a popular choice for those looking to build a property portfolio and generate rental income.
Most Buy-to-Let Mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
