Buy to Let Mortgage for First Time Buyers
BTL Mortgages Suitable for First Time Buyers
If you are not an existing homeowner and you are looking to buy an investment property in the UK for the first time, the options for mortgaging tend to be quite narrow. Lenders will usually want to assess the mortgage based on your personal income rather than the rent. However, we do have lenders who can accommodate first-time buyers for Buy-to-Let property and incorporate the rental value rather than purely personal income based validation.
Lending is available up to 75% LTV for first-time buyers investing in BTL property.

BTL Mortgages Suitable for First Time Landlords
First time landlords are classed as UK homeowner-occupiers who do not currently own a BTL property. If this is your first Buy-to-Let purchase, then we can discuss all options with you and answer any questions you may have. Applicants do not need letting experience with these lenders. All types of property can be accommodated, with mortgages available up to 80% of property purchase price. Interest only is available with most lenders, if required. We can discuss this with you and suggest a range of suitable options for you to choose from. We will then send you a full mortgage illustration for you to consider once you’ve chosen the mortgage that suits you best.
