Buy-to-let mortgages are a type of mortgage that is specifically sold for clients who purchase properties as an investment rather than acquiring a mortgage to buy a place where they want to live in themselves.
A buy-to-let mortgage is different than a standard residential mortgage. For example, if you are looking to rent your property, most lenders will advise you to finance your purchase with this type of mortgage. But let us find you the best deal across the market so you can get the buy-to-let mortgage that will suit your needs.
How does a Buy-To-Let Mortgage Work?
Buy-to-let mortgages work as a tool for investors and landlords, allowing them to enter the rental property market hassle-free. It works in a few steps such as:
·Putting down a deposit of at least 25% of the property value
·Take out an interest-only mortgage to pay the interest each month but not the full amount
·Pay back the full amount at the end of the mortgage term
What Is The Cost Of a Buy-to-Let Mortgage?
There are a few factors that are in play when it comes to determining how much the buy-to-let mortgage will cost you. The main ones include:
- The size of your deposit
- Interests rates
- Loan term
With this type of mortgage, clients often pay the interest each month. This way it might mean that your repayments each month are cheaper than your standard residential mortgage however, you need to take into consideration your ability to repay the full cost of the debt by the end of the loan term.

Most lenders will let you borrow 4.5 times your annual salary so, as long as you have a standard 10% deposit, you should be able to borrow this much.

Depending on your personal circumstances, some lenders may let you borrow 5 times your salary.

Lenders usually cap the amount they lend at 5.5 times your salary, so it’s unlikely you’ll be able to borrow more than this.
Most lenders look for a few requirements when it comes to getting a BTL mortgage. Some of them include:
- Age – you have to be above 21 years old
- Annual Income – the minimum you have to be earning is about £25,000
- Deposit – most lenders require a 25% deposit
- Credit history
How are the interest rates calculated?
Interest rates of BTL mortgages are influenced by multiple factors such as:
- Loan-to-value ratio
- Your credit history and affordability
- Changes in the base rate
- Determining fixed or variable rate mortgage
What Can I Do To Get The Best BTL Deal?
Consulting with mortgage advisors and brokers is the first step toward finding your preferred mortgage deal. Learning about the market and finding the interest rates that fit you best can help you make an informed decision.
Before applying, check your credit history which can have a huge impact on your mortgage deal. Also, consider what is the best mortgage for you, whether you prefer fixed or variable rate mortgages and make a plan of how you are going to make monthly repayments.
What to know before getting a buy-to-let mortgage?
There are a few things to keep in mind before you decide to get a BTL mortgage:
- What is your rental income? – you may not have tenants at all times so you need to have a backup plan for “empty periods”
- What are the tax implications? – depending on how much you earn when you rent, you will pay different rates in income tax which is why you need to calculate all kinds of taxes that you need to pay
- What is your loan term? – find out how long you want your agreement to last and what to do if your financial situation changes

Investors all around look for buy-to-let mortgages because of the many benefits they offer. Some of them include:
- Generating a steady stream of rental income
- Increasing property value over time
- Diversified portfolio
