Understanding the difference
A buy-to-let mortgage differs from a residential mortgage in a number of ways and we can guide you through what you need to know before you embark on investing in a buy-to-let mortgage. From understanding you need to be able to pay the mortgage payments even if the property is empty, to making sure the whole proposition is profitable, we’ll talk you through what you need to know.
Informed decision
Unlike a residential property, how much you borrow will generally depend on the expected rental income of the property as well as its value. Most lenders require a minimum 25% of the value of the property as a deposit and interest-only mortgages are attractive to many investors. We will help you understand the difference between an interest-only mortgage and a repayment mortgage and guide you to the correct choice for you. Our jargon-free approach will help you understand exactly what your mortgage means and because we have access to a wide range of lenders, we can find a suitable deal for you based on your needs, circumstances and preferences.
