Clear answers to questions we are often asked.
A Buy To Let (BTL) mortgage is designed for properties that will be rented out. Unlike personal mortgages, BTL mortgages are assessed on rental income potential alongside the borrower's financial situation.
Typically, BTL mortgages require a larger deposit than residential mortgages, usually around 25% of the property’s value, though this can vary depending on the lender and your circumstances.
Yes, it's possible, but some lenders may have stricter criteria for first-time buyers and first-time landlords. Your rental income potential and financial stability will be key factors.
Generally, BTL mortgages have higher interest rates and fees compared to residential mortgages due to the perceived higher risk associated with rental properties.
