What is a Buy to Let mortgage?

A Buy to Let mortgage is a type of mortgage you can use to purchase an investment property that you intend to let out to tenants. Most Buy to Let mortgages are interest only, meaning the monthly mortgage payments only pay off the interest charges, not the original capital.

What deposit do I need for a Buy to Let mortgage?

Most lenders require a higher deposit for this type of mortgage than standard residential ones. This is typically 25% minimum, and is reflective of the higher risk these properties present to lenders. What this means is that you can get a loan for a maximum of 75% of the property’s value. If you don’t have a deposit of this size, you could consider saving up and holding off on the property search or contact our professional mortgage brokers. We have access to specialist lenders who may be willing to provide a loan at 80% Loan to Value. It should be noted, however, that these deals are usually reserved for those borrowers with previous landlord experience.

What happens at the end of a Buy to Let mortgage if I pay interest only?

Most Buy to Let mortgages are interest only. That means at the end of your mortgage term, you still won’t have touched the original capital borrowed. As a result, you’ll need to find a way to repay this loan in full. You can make payments in addition to your interest only payments during the mortgage, so if you have done this there may be less to pay. Options for repaying the mortgage might include using funds from other investments, savings, or remortgaging the property.

What are the benefits of Buy to Let interest only mortgages?

The main reason why people choose Buy to Let interest only mortgages is that monthly payments are typically lower because you are only paying the interest on the loan in contrast to conventional repayment mortgages. For landlords, this can provide greater flexibility and even boost your tax efficiency, though the amount of tax you can save is changing.
