Portfolio Landlord Mortgages FAQs

The Prudential Regulation Authority defines a portfolio landlord as a landlord that has 'four or more distinct mortgaged Buy-to-Let properties either together or in aggregate'.

At Monmouthshire Building Society, we recognise that many landlords are diversifying their portfolios further than traditional Buy-to-Let and choosing to invest in other types of rental properties. That's why we allow landlords to mortgage portfolios containing any mix of Buy-to-Let, Holiday Let, HMO and Multi Unit Freehold properties.
