Frequently Asked Questions
How much deposit do I need for a buy to let mortgage?
Most lenders require at least a 20–25% deposit. The more you can put down, the better the rates and options available.
Do I need to own a property already?
Not always. Some lenders accept first-time landlords, even if you haven’t owned a home before — though criteria may be stricter.
Can I get a buy to let mortgage through a limited company?
Yes – and it may be more tax-efficient in some cases. We’ll help you decide if a company structure makes sense for your situation and match you with suitable lenders.
What rental income do I need to qualify?
Most lenders use a “rental stress test” to assess affordability. This usually means the rent needs to cover 125%–145% of the mortgage payment at a notional interest rate. We’ll help you work out what this means for your property.
Can I refinance an existing buy to let property?
Absolutely – whether you’re looking for a better rate, longer term, or want to release equity, we can help you remortgage in a way that suits your goals.
