Buy-to-Let
Other Mortgages
How the mortgage is calculated
A buy-to-let mortgage offer is based on the estimated rent you will earn. Your income may also be considered.
Other mortgage offers are usually based on the income of the mortgage candidate(s).
Interest rates
Interest rates of buy-to-lets tend to be higher due to the greater risks involved on behalf of the lender.
Other mortgages tend to have lower interest rates than buy-to-lets
Deposit required
Larger deposits are usually required, typically a minimum of 20% or 25% of the property’s value.
Other mortgages don’t require as high a deposit, typically a minimum of 5% - 10% of the property value.
