Buy To Let Mortgages Explained
A buy to let (BTL) mortgage is specifically designed for people who plan to rent out a property to tenants. While the application process is similar to a standard residential mortgage, lenders assess affordability differently.
Instead of focusing primarily on your personal income, buy to let lenders usually base the maximum loan on the property’s value and the projected rental income. This means that even applicants with limited personal income may be eligible, depending on the lender and rental projections.
Our team at David List Mortgage Consultants Ltd will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand how much you could borrow, the different types of buy to let mortgages available, and what lenders will expect during your application.
FAQ's
Who can apply for a BTL mortgage?
Whether you are a first-time buyer, an existing homeowner, or an experienced landlord, there are specialist lenders who can accommodate a wide range of circumstances. We can help match you with the lender that suits your situation.
How much deposit do I need?
Most lenders require a minimum deposit of around 25% of the property’s value. Some specialist lenders may consider lower deposits, even as little as 15%, though this usually comes with higher interest rates.

In addition to the deposit, you should factor in several other costs, including:
Additional Stamp Duty (for buy to let properties)
Property surveys
Mortgage arrangement fees
Solicitor or conveyancing fees
