Looking to become a private landlord? Arranging a dedicated buy-to-let mortgage is a common way to enter the property market, and a great option for anyone who wants to buy a property for the specific purpose of letting it out to residential tenants.
The buy-to-let market is rapidly expanding, and there are an increasing number of different buy-to-let mortgage products available to serve it, including interest-only and capital and interest.
The borrowable amount on a buy-to-let mortgage is calculated on the basis of projected rental income rather than salary income. Typically, this sort of loan requires a larger deposit than a standard mortgage.
