A buy-to-let mortgage is a mortgage agreement where the purpose of owning the property is to let to tenants to gain additional income or profits. While you will probably be taking out a second mortgage, your repayments will be covered by rent paid by your tenants. They are a great option if you are looking to expand your revenue streams or expand your property portfolio.
There is a lot to consider when you decide to become a landlord, especially if it is your first time. The Mortgage Genie can help by walking you through the process from beginning to end so all of the angles are covered.
Like a standard mortgage, the debt you take on is secured against the property. However, a buy-to-let mortgage rate is mainly assessed on rental income, as well as your own finances.
Your mortgage is going to be the largest ongoing cost of your property, so getting the right deal is going to impact the performance of your investment.
The best way to secure a good rate is to seek the advice of an expert buy-to-let mortgage broker. Here at The Mortgage Genie, our specialists can work with you to find the product that will benefit your portfolio the most, delivering the best return on your investment.

There is an alternative option to applying for a buy-to-let mortgage: remortgaging your existing property. By doing so, it’s possible to release equity you’ve saved up to finance the purchase of your new property.
However, to do this you will need to be able to meet lenders’ underwriting requirements. It’s also worth remembering that the rental income of the buy-to-let property will not be taken into account in any remortgaging deal.
Before making a decision on whether you want to take out a buy-to-let mortgage or remortgage a current property, it’s always best to take quality financial advice. The Mortgage Genie will be happy to help with valuable advice from our expert team.
