BUY TO LET MORTGAGE

buy-to-let mortgage is a loan secured against a property that you own and intend to rent out to a tenant.

One of the big differences between a buy-to-let mortgage and a residential mortgage is how much you can borrow is based mainly on how much rent the property can earn, rather than your own income. As such, the majority of BTLs are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Tracker Mortgages

Tracker mortgages are typically aligned with the Bank of England Base rate for a set period of time, often between two and five years.

 

If the Bank of England base rate were to increase, the interest rate on your mortgage would also increase and your monthly payments would rise. Conversely, if the base rate were to decrease, you would see the benefit as your monthly repayments would be reduced. 

Discount Mortgages

With a discount mortgage, you pay the lender's standard variable rate (a rate chosen by the lender that doesn't change very often), with a fixed amount discounted. For example, if your lender's standard variable rate was 4% and your mortgage came with a 1.5% discount, you'd pay 2.5%.

 

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
