Frequently Asked Questions

How do buy to let mortgages work?

Buy to let mortgages were created specifically for those looking to invest in property to create a rental income stream and potential long-term capital appreciation. They tend to revolve around three crucial factors, the deposit, loan to value ratio and the interest cover ratio (ICR). You may be able to obtain a buy to let mortgage with a deposit as low as 20%, although many of the more attractive rates start with a 40% deposit.

The ICR is the rate by which rental income on the property will need to exceed mortgage payments. The lowest ICR tends to be around 125%, but it can be as high as 145% and above. For example, with a 125% ICR, you must achieve £125 rental income per hundred pounds of mortgage repayments. This ensures that buy to let mortgage lenders have a degree of cover between mortgage payments and rental income streams. There are also the traditional technicalities and legal issues associated with a standard property purchase.
