Finding you the
Buy-To-Let Mortgages
What is a buy-to-let mortgage?
A Buy-to-Let mortgage is similar in a lot of ways to a standard mortgage in that it is a loan secured on a property. The difference is that it is a product specifically designed for those people who are purchasing a property or properties with the objective of renting them out.
Although Buy to Let mortgages are typically interest only loans, they are available as fixed, variable and discounted rates.
Why do people invest in buy-to-Let properties?
It’s all about the potential returns, with Buy-to-Let properties having the potential of making you money in two ways:
1. Rental Income
A regular income is received in the form of monthly rental from your tenants. The amount of rent that you will receive will be dependent on a number of factors which include your property being tenanted, its size and location.
2. Capital Growth
Whether or not the property you are buying proves to be a good long-term investment will depend on a number of factors which include; the strength of the market (prices can go up and down), the location, the size and condition of your property.
How to get a buy-to-let mortgage
When you apply to take out a buy-to-let mortgage, you will be expected to meet certain criteria.
As lenders will often use the anticipated rental income from your property to determine how much they will lend you, the expected monthly rental income must exceed your buy to let mortgage repayments by a certain percentage.
To qualify for a Buy-to-Let mortgage, you will be expected to put down a deposit of around 25% of the property value.
Although a buy to let property can be a great investment, there are a number of factors that should be considered before getting involved in the buy to let market.
These include:
- Property prices go down and you could lose money if the value of the property were to fall.
- You potential income will fall if your experience trouble in finding tenants to occupy your property.
- Fees and interest rates tend to be a little higher than standard mortgages for homeowners.
- Buy-to-lets are treated as investments and they are subject to income tax on the rent received and capital gains tax on any future sale of the property.
- Other costs involved in purchasing a Buy-to-let property include legal fees, valuation fees, broker fees and ongoing property maintenance costs and mortgage repayments.
