Why you should consider buying to let

Buying a property solely to let it out has always been a popular option. This remains the case despite an array of legislative changes. The most obvious reason for this, and why you should consider buy-to-let, is that it generates a regular income for you.  

Property prices generally rise over time. Investing in a buy-to-let property means someone else is paying your mortgage while your property increases in value. When the mortgage is finally paid, you have a valuable asset and a monthly income. It can be a great aid in retirement.

To successfully enter the world of buy-to-let, you need a mortgage designed for this purpose. This is a complicated area. While you can try to find the most appropriate deal yourself, you’ll find it's better to get the professionals involved. Any mortgage needs to be affordable. You should also note it’s not the only cost. Fortunately, we can provide independent mortgage advice and help with insurance and financial planning.

Essential checks before you commit

Before you commit to a property, you’ll need to do plenty of research. It’s useful to know which areas are seeing steady increases in prices, which are popular with renters and whether there is a lot of anti-social behaviour in the area. You’ll also need to carry out structural checks on any chosen property.  

Even more important is your financial planning. You need to lay out all the costs, including allowing a budget for unforeseen issues. You can then compare this to the expected revenue and the potential rise in property value. We can help you create a financial plan and find the most suitable mortgage deal, potentially making your vision a reality.

Why do I need a mortgage broker for buy-to-let?

Many people ask this as their existing mortgage lender is prepared to offer them a deal. The truth is, that mortgage lenders have access to a limited number of products, whereas mortgage brokers can access a wide range of mortgages on the market, potentially finding you a more suitable deal.

We’ll help. Our standard approach is to get to know you and your needs, allowing us to recommend the most suitable mortgage product for you. We’re independent so your interests are all that matters.

How does the mortgage lender decide whether I can afford a buy-to-let mortgage?

Most lenders use the same approach; they like to see a rental income of between 125% and 145% of the monthly mortgage amount. Some lenders will also want you to earn a minimum amount.
