Frequently Asked Questions
Through a specialist BTL lender rather than a standard residential one. The lender looks mainly at the expected rental income rather than your salary. You’ll need a deposit (typically 25% of the property value), proof of income, and, in most cases existing homeownership. A broker matches you to the right lender. BTL is one of the most varied markets, with hundreds of products from dozens of lenders.
Typically 25% of the property value, sometimes more for HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), holiday lets, or specialist properties. The lower the loan-to-value, the better the rates. Going in with 35-40% deposit will usually unlock the sharpest rates on the market.
Yes, and it’s very common, especially for higher-rate taxpayers. A limited company (often a Special Purpose Vehicle, or SPV) can offer tax advantages for property investors because mortgage interest is a full business expense rather than restricted as it is for individual landlords. Lenders in the BTL market are well set up for limited company borrowing.
It depends on your tax position and long-term plans. Broadly, higher-rate taxpayers who plan to keep properties long-term often benefit from a limited company structure, because mortgage interest is fully deductible. Lower-rate taxpayers or those planning to sell in the short term often find personal ownership simpler. Always take regulated tax advice before deciding, the right answer varies by person.
Yes. Some lenders specialise in first-time landlords, though the range is narrower. Having a steady income outside of the rental, a sensible deposit, and being a homeowner already makes the process straightforward. If you’re not a homeowner, options are more limited but not impossible
Lenders apply a ‘stress test’, typically requiring rental income to cover 125-145% of the mortgage payment at a stressed interest rate (usually above the actual rate). In simple terms: if your mortgage payment is £1,000 a month, the lender will want to see monthly rent of around £1,250-£1,450, depending on the product and your tax band. The stress test is what usually determines how much you can borrow.
A regulated BTL (sometimes called a consumer BTL) is a mortgage on a property that’s part of a lifestyle decision rather than a pure investment, for example, letting out a former home, or renting to a close family member. These are regulated by the FCA. Pure investment BTLs on arm’s-length tenancies are usually unregulated. The distinction matters because the rules, advice process, and consumer protections are different.
Yes, through a BTL remortgage or further advance. This is a common way to raise a deposit for your next property, or to pull capital out of a portfolio that’s grown in value. We can look at your whole portfolio and work out the most tax-efficient way to release equity and fund the next purchase.
