Buy to let mortgages explained

If you’re a landlord, or looking into being a landlord, and you want to buy a property to rent it out then a buy to let (BTL) mortgage is for you.

Applying for this type of mortgage is a similar process to a residential mortgage application.

The buy to let process

1. Are you eligible and can you afford it?

We work out the amount you can borrow based on how much rent the property can achieve against the cost of the mortgage. These are our terms:

  • A minimum deposit amount that you can confirm using our mortgage calculator
  • The property to be worth at least £150,000
  • Your borrowing to be less than £3.5 million
  • The maximum number of buy to let / investment properties a customer can own, whether mortgaged or unencumbered, is 10 properties.

Important: If you are paid in a foreign currency, you must apply through a mortgage broker.

2. What are your responsibilities as a potential landlord?

You will need to understand technical terms as owners of the property like contracts for tenants, deposit protection and certificates for gas and electricity. These are all required terms to comprehend as landlords and will vary from the Channel Islands, to the Isle of Man and Gibraltar.

Important: If you are a landlord who owns 3 properties or more with a mortgage, you must apply through a mortgage broker.
