Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Buy To Let mortgage?
A Buy to Let mortgage is lending on a property that is rented out to tenants.
Do I need a buy to let mortgage to rent out a property?
Yes (unless of course you're a cash buyer and don't need a mortgage at all). It's a specific type of mortgage based on the fact that you will not be residing in the property, and so is assessed differently to a normal mortgage. Unlike a residential mortgage, where how much you can borrow is based on your own income (among other things), a buy to let mortgage is assessed on the amount of rent as well as the value of the property.
How much deposit do I need?
As with any type of mortgage, the more you can put down as a deposit, the better the mortgage deal you could get. A lower mortgage rate means lower monthly payments and a greater margin between your rental income and your mortgage costs.
As a rule, you’ll need a deposit of around 25% or more of the property’s value, although some lenders will require as little as 15%, provided the rental income is sufficient
How much can I borrow on a Buy To Let mortgage?
A buy to let mortgage is mainly assessed on the rental income that the property is likely to generate.
Lenders will typically need the rental income to be at least 125% of the monthly mortgage payments (on an interest only basis) which means that means that if your mortgage will cost £900 a month, the rent will need to be at least £1,125 a month.
