Understanding Buy-To-Let (BTL) Mortgages
These mortgages are designed for landlords who want to buy a property for the purpose of renting it out. While the rules regarding these mortgages are largely similar to standard mortgages, there are a few significant differences. This includes the following:
- Most BTL mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), albeit there are some exceptions
- Most BTL mortgages are interest-only – please head to our “mortgage types” page for more details on this
- The minimum deposit required is typically 25 percent, although this does range from 20 to 40 per cent
- Interest rates and fees are usually higher
How Much Can You Borrow For A Buy-To-Let Mortgage?
The concept of a buy-to-let mortgage may be simple, but securing the right BTL mortgage isn’t. There are lots of different variables when it comes to getting the right mortgage. This includes everything from various calculation rates to portfolio lending. In terms of how much you can borrow, you will typically need your property’s rental income to be around 25 to 30 percent higher than your mortgage payments. You are also going to need to factor in the taxes you could be liable for, including Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. There are also the changing rules around Mortgage Interest Tax Relief to contend with.
