Buy to Let Mortgage Advisors

Investing in property through a buy-to-let mortgage can be a great way to generate rental income and build long-term investment. At Peak Mortgages and Protection, we specialise in providing expert buy-to-let mortgage advice, helping you secure the right deal to maximise your investment.

What Is A Buy To Let Mortgage?

A buy-to-let mortgage is a type of mortgage designed for those purchasing a property with the intention of renting it out, rather than living in it themselves. These mortgages have different requirements compared to residential mortgages, including larger deposits and higher interest rates.

Key Features of Buy-to-Let Mortgages

  • Higher deposits: You’ll typically need a deposit of 25% or more of the property’s value.
  • Interest rates: These tend to be higher than those for residential mortgages.
  • Rental income: Lenders assess your ability to repay the mortgage based on the potential rental income.
  • Affordability checks: Instead of your salary, lenders focus on your rental yield to determine eligibility.

At Peak Mortgages and Protection, we offer personalised buy-to-let mortgage advice to guide you through the process, whether you’re a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer.

How to Get a Buy-to-Let Mortgage

Once you understand what a buy-to-let mortgage is, the next step is learning how to secure one. At Peak Mortgages and Protection, we provide expert assistance every step of the way to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

Step 1: Assessing Your Eligibility

Lenders will evaluate:

  • Your deposit: A deposit of 25% or more is usually required, but this can vary between lenders.
  • Rental income: Your rental yield should cover between 125% and 145% of your mortgage payments.
  • Credit history: A strong credit record will help secure better mortgage terms.

Step 2: Finding the Right Mortgage

We work closely with a range of lenders to find the best buy-to-let mortgage for you. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking at remortgaging an existing buy-to-let property, we help you find the most suitable deal.

Step 3: Tailored Mortgage Advice

At Peak Mortgages and Protection, we offer bespoke first-time buyer mortgage advice. We make sure that you meet the lender’s criteria and secure a deal that supports your property investment goals.

Not all Buy to Let Mortgages are regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority. 

YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
