  • Residential investment finance, commonly known as buy-to-let finance, is a type of mortgage tailored for individuals, companies, or limited entities purchasing residential property to generate rental income. The property is not intended for personal occupancy and is assessed on both the applicant’s profile and the projected rental yield of the property.

  • Yes, many specialist lenders offer buy-to-let products specifically designed for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), student properties, and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs). These properties tend to offer higher yields, but they may come with more complex underwriting and regulatory requirements.

  • Most lenders use a rental coverage ratio to determine affordability. Typically, rental income must cover between 125% and 145% of the monthly mortgage payment, calculated under stress-tested interest rates. This ensures the property can service the debt even if interest rates rise in the future.

  • While it’s not essential to have landlord experience, many lenders prefer applicants who have managed rental properties before, especially for larger loans or HMO purchases. First-time landlords can still access buy-to-let mortgages, but may be subject to more rigorous assessments and slightly higher interest rates.

  • Yes, purchasing through a limited company or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) has become increasingly popular due to potential tax advantages. Many lenders now specialise in limited company buy-to-let, offering products tailored to this structure. It’s important to ensure your company is set up correctly to meet lender requirements.

  • There’s no strict limit, but portfolio landlords (those owning four or more mortgaged buy-to-let properties) are often subject to enhanced underwriting. Lenders will typically assess your entire portfolio, including income, leverage, and management strategy, to ensure it remains financially sustainable.

  • Absolutely — refinancing is a common strategy used by landlords to unlock equity for further property acquisitions, renovations, or to consolidate existing debt. Many lenders offer competitive remortgage products with the flexibility to support your investment growth strategy.

  • Loan terms for residential investment finance generally range from 5 to 30 years. Most lenders offer both fixed-rate and variable-rate options, with the choice of interest-only or capital repayment structures. Interest-only loans are popular for cash flow-focused investors, while repayment mortgages are suited to those looking to build equity over time.
