Buy-to-Let Mortgages
Investment property finance solutions
Property investment offers the potential for long-term capital growth and rental income, but securing the right buy-to-let mortgage requires specialist knowledge. We provide expert advice to landlords and property investors across the UK.
What Is a Buy-to-Let Mortgage?
A buy-to-let mortgage is a loan secured on a property you intend to rent out to tenants, rather than live in yourself. These mortgages work differently from residential loans. Lenders assess affordability based on expected rental income rather than just your personal earnings.
As independent advisers with specialist buy-to-let expertise, we have access to the full market including high street banks, building societies, and specialist lenders who focus on investment property finance. This means we can find solutions for first-time landlords, experienced investors, and complex portfolio situations.

Common Questions
How much deposit do I need for a buy-to-let mortgage?
Most buy-to-let mortgages require a minimum 25% deposit, though some lenders offer 20% options. A larger deposit (30-40%) typically secures better interest rates. We'll advise on the optimal deposit for your circumstances.
How is buy-to-let affordability calculated?
Unlike residential mortgages, buy-to-let affordability is primarily based on expected rental income, not your personal income. Lenders typically require the rent to cover 125-145% of the mortgage payment at a stressed interest rate.
Should I buy through a limited company?
This depends on your circumstances. Buying through a company can offer tax advantages, especially for higher-rate taxpayers and portfolio landlords. However, mortgage rates may be slightly higher. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons.
Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage as a first-time buyer?
Yes, though options are more limited. Some lenders will only offer buy-to-let mortgages to existing homeowners, but we know which lenders accept first-time landlords and can help you find suitable options.
What about HMOs and multi-unit properties?
HMOs and multi-unit blocks require specialist lenders. We have extensive experience in this area and can help you navigate the additional requirements, including licencing considerations and rental calculations.
