Buy-to-Let FAQs

What deposit do I need for a BTL mortgage?

Minimum 15-25% deposit typically (75-85% LTV). Lower deposits mean higher rates. For best rates, aim for 40%+ deposit (60% LTV). Portfolio landlords and HMOs may require larger deposits.

Should I buy in personal name or limited company?

It depends on your tax situation and long-term plans. Since 2017 mortgage interest relief has been restricted for personal name landlords (higher rate taxpayers affected most). Limited companies can deduct mortgage interest as a business expense. However, company structures have other costs (accountancy, filing) and you'll pay tax on extracting profits. Seek accountant advice for your specific situation.

What is ICR (Interest Cover Ratio)?

ICR measures how much the rent covers the mortgage interest. Most lenders require 125-145% at a stress rate (typically 5.5%). For example, if monthly interest is £1,000, you'd need rent of £1,250-£1,450. Higher rate taxpayers buying in personal name may face stricter requirements.

Can I get a BTL mortgage as a first-time buyer?

Yes, but options are limited. Some lenders won't lend to first-time buyers, others require larger deposits or minimum income. It's generally harder to get approved without homeownership experience. A specialist broker can help find suitable lenders.

What is a portfolio landlord?

A landlord with 4 or more mortgaged buy-to-let properties. Since 2017 PRA rules, lenders must assess the whole portfolio, not just the property being mortgaged. This means more documentation and different affordability calculations. Specialist lenders focus on portfolio landlords.
