UK Investment Mortgages Explained

Understand UK mortgages for buy-to-let property

Residential mortgages: If you’re planning on living in the property you purchase, there’s a huge range of residential mortgages available from an array of providers. Repayment costs will vary depending on how much you borrow, your mortgage term and what product you choose.

Buy-to-let mortgages: Specifically for properties that will solely be rented out, buy-to-let mortgages are available from mainstream as well as specialist providers. You normally need a 25% deposit, and they can be more expensive, but rates right now are at an all-time low.

Mortgages for expats or overseas investors: Living overseas doesn’t need to be a barrier for applying for a UK mortgage and investing in UK property. There are plenty of specialist providers to choose from who offer great products for this specific situation.
