This depends on several factors, such as:

  • The lender’s minimum and maximum loan size
  • How much you can afford to borrow - the lender will carry out an affordability assessment based on your circumstances, such as income and employment status
  • The type of property and its expected rental income

Buy-to-Let Mortgage Calculator

For a rough idea of how much you might be able to borrow based on rental coverage, simply put the monthly rental income into our Buy-to-Let Mortgage Calculator:

This depends on the Loan to Value (LTV) of the mortgage.

Our Buy-to-Let mortgages are available up to 80% LTV (Subject to Product Availability), so you will need a minimum deposit of at least 20% of the property value.

Our Buy-to-Let mortgages are investment type property loans, which means they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Because they are unregulated, we sell our Buy-to-Let mortgages on a non-advised basis.

This means that, unlike our residential mortgages, you will not receive a recommendation on the suitability of your mortgage based on your individual needs and circumstances. 

Although we cannot provide advice, our Mortgage Advisers will be happy to take you through our product range and explain our application process in detail. 

We will provide you with information to make your own decision on which Buy-to-Let product is right for you.

Speak to an Adviser

All our mortgages move onto our Standard Variable Rate after the initial rate period. Our Standard Variable Rate is currently 8.49%. If our Standard Variable Rate changes, your monthly repayments could go up or down. 

Loans available to persons aged 21 or over and are subject to status and valuation of a suitable property, over which security will be required. All lending will be subject to appraisal of the financial standing of the applicants.

Most Buy-to-Let Mortgages (investment type property loans) are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

IF YOU FAIL TO KEEP UP WITH PAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE A ‘RECEIVER OF RENT’ MAY BE APPOINTED AND/OR YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED.
