Buying a
Property to Let Out
Soaring house prices, increased demand for rental
property and better legal protection for private landlords have made
buying a property to let out to tenants an increasingly popular
investment option for many people. Low interest rates have made
mortgages more affordable, and rental income can look attractive
compared with the return on other investments.
The Mortgage Exchange offers a wide range of specialist
mortgage loans for people interested in buy-to-let.

What is a buy-to-let mortgage?
Buy-to-let mortgages were created for existing
homeowners who want to buy a property for the purpose of letting it out.
Although they are similar to other mortgages, there will usually be
other conditions attached. The lender will accept a lower loan to value
and may also specify requirements regarding length of letting terms and
minimal rental income as a percentage of property value.
How can I get a buy-to-let mortgage?
Most High Street lenders
will not be interested in helping you obtain a "buy to let"
mortgage. The Mortgage Exchange however can advise you on several
schemes available from top lending sources, and at competitive interest
rates.
How much can I borrow?
When deciding how much you can borrow, some lenders
may take into account the rent you will earn, as well as your own
income. As a general guide, bearing in mind the semi-commercial nature of
this type of loan, lenders will normally only lend 75 or 80% of the
property price. It may be possible to raise some or all of the deposit
needed by considering a re-mortgage to your existing property.
Will I have to pay a higher mortgage rate?
Buy-to-let mortgages are generally slightly more expensive than ordinary
home loans,
Can I get tax relief on a buy-to-let mortgage?
No, but you can offset interest payments on your mortgage against tax on
rental income, along with other expenses such as agents' fees and
maintenance costs.
As long as you receive
the correct advice and assistance, buying a property for renting out is
generally a very straightforward process.
