Understanding Buy to Let Mortgages
A regulated mortgage adviser can clarify when a Buy-to-Let mortgage is necessary. They will explain the legal and contractual requirement: if you purchase a property specifically for rental purposes, you must obtain a Buy-to-Let mortgage.
It is also critical that you arrange Landlord Insurance to protect the property itself, as well as the rental income.
Renting a property on a residential mortgage could be a breach of contract with the lender. This could potentially lead to serious consequences, including the requirement to immediately repay the loan in full.
Key Lending Criteria for Buy to Let Mortgages
Your regulated mortgage adviser will help you understand the deposit requirements for a Buy-to-Let mortgage. Deposits for Buy-to-Let properties are typically larger than for residential mortgages, often starting from at least 25% of the property's value. They will also advise that a higher deposit can often lead to more competitive interest rates, as with residential mortgages.
Costs and Fees Associated with Buy to Let Investment
Your regulated mortgage adviser can explain the factors that determine Buy-to-Let mortgage rates. They will clarify that rates are largely influenced by the Loan-to-Value (LTV) percentage, which represents how much of the property's purchase price is covered by the mortgage. For instance, they might illustrate that for a £300,000 property with a £75,000 deposit, the LTV would be 75%.
Understanding the Risks of Buy to Let Investment
A regulated mortgage adviser can assess your eligibility for a Buy-to-Let mortgage and explain the criteria lenders typically look for. They can discuss:
General Eligibility: While some lenders previously required borrowers to own a residential property beforehand, your adviser can confirm that this is less common now.
Credit Rating: They will explain how a good credit rating can improve your chances of being accepted.
Risk Assessment:
Your adviser will clarify that Buy-to-Let mortgages can be considered higher risk.
Repayments may depend on the property being occupied and tenants making payments. For high-earning investors, you should also consider Executive Income Protection to safeguard your personal salary, which helps cover the mortgage when you cannot work.
As the borrower, it is your responsibility to ensure timely repayments. To secure your Buy-to-Let mortgage debt against the risk of your death or critical illness, discuss the use of Business Protection Insurance with your adviser.
Failure to do so can result in your property being repossessed.
Lending Limits: They can also advise on any limits on the number of Buy-to-Let mortgages one person can have (often around 3), and maximum lend amounts across all mortgages (which can often exceed £2 million).
