It is unlikely that you could let a property under the terms of a standard mortgage because the contract usually forbids tenancies. So, a specific buy to let mortgage is needed.

Buy to let mortgages are perceived to be higher risk than standard mortgages. Many landlords expect the rental income to cover the mortgage costs and many buy to let mortgages are interest only. This can be an issue if the property is sometimes left empty or the tenant is unable pay the rent.

It is likely that a buy to let mortgage will need a larger deposit (around 25-40%), be subject to a higher interest rate, and some additional fees.

We have the expertise and experience to help you navigate the buy to let mortgage process, make sure things run smoothly and help you prepare for any future changes in circumstances.

If the property costs more then £40,000, you will currently have to pay an additional 3% on top of the Stamp Duty bands.
