Understanding Buy-to-Let (BTL) Mortgages:
BTL mortgages cater to landlords purchasing properties for rental purposes. While similar to standard mortgages in some aspects, they differ significantly:
Most BTL mortgages aren’t regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), with some exceptions. BTL mortgages are typically interest-only—refer to our “mortgage types” page for more details. A minimum deposit of around 25 percent is customary, varying between 20 to 40 percent. Interest rates and fees tend to be higher.
Determining Borrowing Limits for a Buy-to-Let Mortgage:
While the concept of a BTL mortgage seems straightforward, securing the right one can be complex. Several variables influence this, from diverse calculation rates to portfolio lending. Generally, your property’s rental income needs to exceed your mortgage payments by approximately 25 to 30 percent. Additionally, consider potential taxes like Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, along with the evolving rules on Mortgage Interest Tax Relief.
