Buy-to-let mortgage advice for landlords
Whether you're buying your first rental or managing a growing portfolio, we'll match your property and plans to the right lender - including limited company structures.
Important: Your home (or property) may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debts secured on it. Some forms of Buy to Let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The right structure, the right lender
Buy-to-let lending works differently from residential mortgages. Lenders focus on the rent the property will generate, stress-tested against their own rates, and their criteria vary widely - especially for portfolio landlords, houses in multiple occupation and limited company purchases.
We'll look at the property, the expected rent and your wider plans, then recommend lenders whose criteria genuinely fit. If you're weighing up personal ownership against a limited company, we'll explain the mortgage implications of each route clearly and suggest you confirm the tax position with your accountant.
For portfolio landlords with four or more mortgaged properties, lenders also review your whole portfolio, including rental cover, gearing and a business plan. We prepare this with you so each landlord mortgage application is presented clearly from the start.
Buy-to-let advice at every stage
First-time landlords
Deposits, rental stress tests and lender criteria explained clearly before you commit to a property.
Remortgages
Better rates or equity release to fund your next deposit - timed so you never drift onto a reversion rate.
Portfolio landlords
Four or more properties bring extra checks. We work with lenders set up for portfolio lending and present your case properly.
Limited company BTL
Special-purpose-vehicle lending for company purchases - increasingly popular with higher-rate taxpayers.
Rental coverage checks
We run the lender's stress test before you offer, so you know the rent stacks up.
Landlord protection
Buildings insurance and rent guarantee options to protect the income your portfolio depends on.
