Buy to Let Mortgages
Property has been a popular investment for some time, as part of investment portfolio, and an addition to providing an income in later life.
As with any investment, maximising return is the top priority with Buy to Let, and getting the finance structure right is key to achieving this.
Here at Mortgage Response, we’ve been advising clients on Buy to Let finance for years. No two clients are the same, and our clients range from first-time landlords to experienced multi-property portfolio landlords.

In whose name?
In the past, most investment properties were bought in personal names. However, times have changed, and an increasing number of investment properties are now being purchased in a limited company structure. Our access to the whole of the market, plus our expertise in this field means that we’ll be able to explain both options and to give you the best choice.
It’s a taxing issue
Recent changes to the taxation of investment properties have led many lenders to tighten their affordability criteria. As a result, securing the right level of funding for Buy to Let investments has become more complex – making expert mortgage advice more important than ever.
While we’re not tax advisers and can’t provide tax advice, we do understand how these changes affect lender assessments and can help you navigate the mortgage options available. Our expertise in Buy to Let finance means we can guide you through the process and help you find a solution that aligns with your investment goals.

Why getting the best advice matters
The criteria surrounding Buy to Let mortgages is complex and completely different to residential mortgages.
Several factors are considered, such as the likely rental income for the property, the type of mortgage product, your personal tax status, or whether you are purchasing in your personal name or in a limited company structure. These will all affect the amount you will be able to borrow. Add to this how the property will be let, be that as a single-family unit, a house of multiple occupancy, a short-term holiday let, or as part of a multi-unit freehold block. We can navigate all these areas for you.
Recent changes to regulation and to the way that lenders treat applications from landlords with multiple properties both highlight the need for getting the best advice from market experts.
If you’re looking to fund the purchase of an investment property or to get advice on your existing property investment funding, get in touch with us now.
