Key Facts
1. How much can I afford?
Determining how much you can borrow for a buy-to-let mortgage differs from a standard residential mortgage because it's not just based on your personal income. Lenders will also evaluate the potential rental income from the property you plan to purchase. Since each lender may use different criteria for calculating rental income, it's important to get an accurate assessment.
2. Your deposit
When applying for a buy-to-let mortgage, a larger deposit is typically required. While the minimum deposit is often around 20%, most buy-to-let mortgages will ask for at least 25%. Just like with standard mortgages, securing the most favourable rates and deals often means providing a larger deposit, which could be up to 40% of the property's value.
3. Stamp duty and tax
You are required to pay stamp duty on any property purchased in addition to your primary residence, with an extra 3% of the property value charged on top of the standard SDLT rates. Additionally, as a landlord, any rental income you earn will be subject to income tax. We recommend consulting with a tax advisor to fully understand your tax obligations before proceeding with your investment.
4. Finding the right property
When investing in property, it's crucial to choose one that will generate a profit. Selecting the right property in a prime location is key to success. Additionally, partnering with a reliable letting agent can greatly assist in securing and managing the best buy-to-let property; we collaborate with several reputable agents and are happy to recommend them if you need their expertise.
