Since 2008 many have left the market and a few have limped on, realising that being a landlord is often very demanding. There is still a place for serious buy to letters out there who can work and think strategically to build up a business. When purchasing a buy to let property you can’t use a conventional mortgage or insurance, if you scrimp on this detail the bank might call in its mortgage altogether. A mortgage for a reantal property will typically have a much higher interest rate than a residential mortgage.
This shows that banks are interested in lending to serious investors who can put down a higher percentage of the value of the property. One aspect of the buy to let mortgage that makes life easier for the purchaser is that the mortgage often is interest only. This means that each monthly repayment covers just the interest payment and not the loan capital. At the end of the agreement the capital can be repaid by selling the property and the seller can retain any profits.
The bank will see the borrower as a business partner, one which it hopes will be fit, healthy and alive towards the end of the agreement. You will need to have a viable business plan. Are you targeting young professionals, students, married couples or commuters? If you don’t have a niche market in mind, you need to get one before you go any further. This will determine where and what you buy. There is no point buying a flat for wealthy young professionals in bedsit land, or a property aimed at families in a row of student houses.
