Thinking about a Buy To Let Property?
Buying a rental property can be a great long-term investment — but it comes with unique challenges compared to a standard residential mortgage.
We help you understand the risks, calculate your return potential, and secure a Buy to Let mortgage that fits your investment goals.
Tailored Support for Landlords & Investors
What is a Buy To Let mortgage?
Buy to Let mortgages are for people buying a property they plan to rent out — not live in. The main difference? Lenders focus more on the property’s rental income than your personal earnings.
You’ll usually need a larger deposit (typically 20–30%), and interest rates may be slightly higher. You’ll also face extra costs like stamp duty and maintenance — we’ll help you plan for all of it.
Please Note: Some Buy to Let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Things to Consider When Buying to let
Deposit & Affordability
Most lenders require a deposit of at least 20–25%. Your affordability will often be judged on the expected rental income, not just your personal salary.
Rental Income Requirements
Lenders typically need projected rent to cover 125%–145% of the mortgage payment. We’ll help assess the figures and present your case clearly.
Stamp Duty
Buying a second property? Expect an additional 3% in stamp duty — a cost we’ll help you factor into your budget.
Ongoing Costs
From letting agent fees to appliance servicing, rental properties come with running costs. We’ll help you plan ahead so there are no surprises.
Property Type & Location
Your long-term return depends on the right property in the right area. We’ll help you align your mortgage choices with your investment goals.
FAQs

Some lenders do allow it, but options may be more limited. We’ll help you explore what’s available.
Do I need a minimum income?
Many lenders ask for at least £25,000 in personal income, but some focus solely on rental yield. We know who’s flexible.
Can I buy through a limited company?
Yes — we can help you explore whether a limited company structure is more tax-efficient for your goals.
