BUY-TO-LET MORTGAGES
How does a buy to let mortgage work?
It’s important to remember that not everyone is entitled to a buy to let mortgage, and they can be more expensive with higher deposits of between 25-40%. Most landlords or investors will take out an interest-only mortgage for the property, using the rent proceeds to pay the interest off each month.
Buy to let mortgages can have their risks, with rental income and house prices varying over the years. You are also relying on your tenant to keep up with their payments. However, by making sure you have all the necessary information before deciding to take out a buy to let mortgage, you can assess the risks and the benefits to make an informed decision.
