Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about buy-to-let mortgages

What is a buy-to-let mortgage?
A buy-to-let mortgage is specifically designed for purchasing or remortgaging properties that you plan to rent out to tenants. These mortgages typically require larger deposits (usually 25% minimum) and have different affordability criteria based on expected rental income rather than just your personal income.
How much deposit do I need for a buy-to-let mortgage?
Most buy-to-let mortgages require a minimum deposit of 25% of the property value, though having 30-40% can unlock better rates and terms. The larger your deposit, the more competitive rates you can access and the stronger your investment position becomes.
How do lenders assess buy-to-let mortgage applications?
Lenders typically require the rental income to cover 125-145% of the mortgage payments (rental coverage ratio). They also assess your personal income, credit history, experience as a landlord, and the property's rental potential. Many lenders require a minimum personal income of £25,000-£40,000.
What are the current buy-to-let mortgage rates?
Buy-to-let mortgage rates are typically higher than residential rates but remain competitive for property investors. Rates vary based on deposit size, property type, and your experience. Our expert advisors have access to exclusive rates from specialist buy-to-let lenders and can find the most competitive deals for your situation.
Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage as a first-time landlord?
Yes, many lenders offer buy-to-let mortgages to first-time landlords, though some may have additional requirements or slightly higher rates. We work with lenders who welcome new landlords and can guide you through the process, ensuring you understand your responsibilities and opportunities as a property investor.
What types of buy-to-let mortgages are available?
Options include standard buy-to-let mortgages, Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) mortgages, multi-unit freehold blocks, holiday let mortgages, and commercial-to-residential conversion loans. We also arrange portfolio mortgages for investors with multiple properties and can advise on the best structure for your investment strategy.
What are the tax implications of buy-to-let properties?
Buy-to-let properties are subject to income tax on rental profits, capital gains tax when sold, and stamp duty land tax when purchased (with higher rates for additional properties). We recommend consulting with a qualified accountant, but our advisors can explain the basic tax considerations and how they might impact your mortgage choices.
Can I remortgage my buy-to-let property?
Yes, remortgaging buy-to-let properties can help you secure better rates, release equity for further investments, or consolidate your portfolio. We regularly help investors remortgage to take advantage of improved rates or to fund expansion of their property portfolio.
What happens if my buy-to-let property becomes vacant?
Void periods are a normal part of property investment. Most lenders understand this and some offer payment holidays or temporary arrangements. It's important to have contingency funds to cover mortgage payments during vacant periods. We can advise on lenders who offer flexible terms for such situations.
How can Home Me Mortgages help with my buy-to-let investment?
