The value of property investments and income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
As the very name suggests: buy to let. An increase in rents, a growing population in the UK, low interest rates at banks and ever increasing real estate prices: they all contribute to a perfect environment for property investments. In other words, it's time to think about the landlord profession. However, in order to qualify for a Buy to Let loan, you have to fulfil certain specific criteria, like having one residential mortgage, i.e. living in your own property. Banks usually require a minimum deposit of 25%. In addition, your income must be at least £25,000 a year.
It is also necessary to prepare a detailed investment strategy. Usually the rent must be at least 125% of the monthly loan instalment. Otherwise, the entire investment will not be profitable and the bank simply will not grant you a Buy to Let loan if it will not see any investment potential in it.
If you consider taking a loan to invest it in a flat to let, it is strongly recommended to use the support and advice of an impartial mortgage broker.
For mortgages we are being paid by a combination of both: commission from the lender which will be shown on the KFI, and a broker fee from the client, of usually £550.
