Buy to let mortgage advice in Salisbury for local landlords and investors
We help clients looking at buy to let mortgages in Salisbury and the surrounding area, whether they are buying their first rental property or reviewing an existing portfolio.
Some clients are purchasing a property to let on a standard tenancy. Others are remortgaging a rental property, buying through a limited company or trying to understand whether the figures still work in the current market.
Our role is to explain your options clearly, help you understand what lenders may look for and guide you towards a mortgage that suits your plans.
How do buy to let mortgages work?
Buy to let mortgages are designed for properties that will be rented out rather than lived in by the owner.
Unlike a standard residential mortgage, lenders will usually look closely at the expected rental income from the property as well as your own wider circumstances. The deposit required is often larger than for a residential mortgage, and lender criteria can vary depending on the type of property, your experience as a landlord and whether you are buying personally or through a company.
That is why it helps to speak to a broker who understands buy to let criteria and can explain how different lenders may approach your case.
How much deposit do I need for a buy to let mortgage?
Buy to let deposits are often higher than residential mortgage deposits. The amount needed can vary depending on the lender, the property and your circumstances.
Lenders will also usually assess whether the expected rental income is enough to support the mortgage. This means that even if you have a deposit available, the rental figures still need to work for the lender you are applying to.
We can help you understand what sort of deposit may be realistic, how rental affordability may be assessed and what that could mean for the type of property you are considering.
