How do buy to let Mortgages work?
If you are purchasing a property with the aim of renting it out, it is a different mortgage to a regular one. There are some key differences between them:
- A buy to let mortgage usually has higher fees
- Interest rates for landlords can be higher.
- The minimum deposit for a buy to let mortgage is usually 25% of the property’s value. That said, it can vary between 20% – 40%.
- Buy to let mortgages usually interest only, which means you pay the interest each month and not the capital amount. Although at the end of your mortgage term you will repay this original loan in full.
The kind of mortgages that insurance brokers and banks offer to consumers for buy to let investments is subject to the same regulations as those covering residential housing.
How much can I lend?
The maximum you can borrow is linked to the income amount projected from your rental property.
Lenders typically need the rental income to be 25–30% higher than your mortgage payment.
