Buy to Let
What a buy-to-let mortgage actually is
A buy-to-let mortgage is designed for property you intend to rent out rather than live in. Lenders assess affordability differently to a residential mortgage. Most of the calculation is based on the expected rental income from the property, with your personal income often used as a secondary check.
As an independent broker we advise landlords at every stage, from a first investment property to building a full portfolio. We compare the whole UK market to find the right product for your specific strategy, whether you are buying in your personal name, through a limited company SPV, taking on an HMO, or expanding an existing portfolio.
🪙
25% deposit typical
Most BTL mortgages need a 25% minimum deposit. Some specialist lenders accept 20% but rates improve significantly with a larger deposit.
📊
Rental yield assessed
BTL affordability is mainly assessed through rental income, not your salary. We check whether the numbers actually stack up before you commit.
🏢
Limited company option
Buying through a limited company can be more tax-efficient for higher-rate taxpayers. We advise on both personal name and SPV structures

No Upfront Fees

Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage through
a limited company?
Yes. Limited company BTL mortgages are increasingly popular for tax efficiency, especially for higher-rate taxpayers. We advise on both personal name and limited company (SPV) structures and explain the tax implications honestly.

Do I pay extra Stamp Duty on a buy-to-let?
Yes. BTL purchases in England and Northern Ireland attract a Stamp Duty surcharge on top of the standard rates. Scotland and Wales have their own equivalent rules. We confirm the exact figure during your consultation.
Can I live in my buy-to-let property?
No. BTL mortgages are specifically for properties you intend to rent out. Living in the property would breach your mortgage terms. If your plans change, you would need to remortgage to a residential product.
