Buy to Let Mortgages
Buy-to-let mortgages are different from residential mortgages in a number of ways.
Firstly, the amount that can be borrowed is based on the property’s value and the rent that is expected to be received each month from your tenant. Some lenders will however take into account your income as well.
Secondly, the interest rates and fees are normally higher than for mortgages used to buy a property to live in.
Finally, not all types of tenants are acceptable to all lenders so finding the right tenant can be critical.
Types of tenants: DSS, Students, private and multi tenancy
