Buy to Let Mortgages
This type of mortgage is used when purchasing a property as an investment, which will be let out either on an AST or short-term/holiday let basis.
The typical deposit for a BTL is 25% of the purchase price though there are some buy to let lenders that will accept 20%. For more information please contact us directly.
Affordability is less reliant on your personal income but based on what the property can be let out for. Every lender will assess the rental amount differently to the next so it is important that you get the best option for your circumstance.
