A let to buy purchase and mortgage means renting out your current home to buy a new one. You’ll remortgage your current home and apply for a new mortgage for the new home.
Both mortgages run together but might be with different lenders. You’ll use funds from one mortgage as a deposit for the other property.
It’s a way to become a homeowner while generating rental income from your current property.
The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some types of buy to let or commercial mortgages.
To secure a let to buy mortgage in London, you must meet certain criteria. Your trusted mortgage broker in London will assess your circumstances during a free initial appointment to see if it’s right for you.
To qualify, you’ll need to show affordability, have a 10% deposit for your new home, and a 25% deposit for the let to buy mortgage. You can use released equity from your remortgage to achieve the deposit.
You should also generate rental income covering at least 125% of the mortgage payments.
Even with bad credit, you can still get a let to buy mortgage in London, thanks to lenders offering products for such situations. Your mortgage advisor in London will guide you through the process and ensure you meet the criteria for the right let to buy mortgage.
A let to buy mortgage in London is a variant of a buy to let mortgage, and the names may sound similar. A buy to let mortgage involves purchasing a property with the intention of letting it out for additional income.
With a let to buy mortgage in London, the scenario often arises with “accidental” landlords. These are homeowners who initially didn’t plan to become landlords but later changed their plans and decided to rent out their current home.
Instead of dealing with the stresses of selling their home and buying a new buy to let property, they opt to rent out their home, using the rental income to help pay off their new residential mortgage.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.
