Mortgage calculator for a Buy to Let property
Unlike normal residential mortgages, buy-to-let mortgages are more commonly based on the rental income of the property rather than the income of the borrowers. You can also expect the deposit required for a buy-to-let mortgage to be higher than that of a residential mortgage, normally in the region of 25%. Some lenders might go as low as 15-20-% but such deals are hard to obtain and can be very restrictive in their terms.
What is a Buy to Let Mortgage?
A Buy to Let (BTL) mortgage is designed for those who want to purchase a property as an investment, intending to rent it out. Buy to Let mortgages typically have higher interest rates than residential mortgages, and the amount you can borrow depends on the rental income you expect to generate.

A Buy to Let mortgage is a type of loan used to buy properties that you intend to rent out. The mortgage lender will usually base the amount you can borrow on the rental income the property is expected to generate, rather than just your personal income.
With an interest-only mortgage, you only pay the interest on the loan each month, meaning your monthly payments are lower. However, you’ll need to pay off the full amount of the loan at the end of the mortgage term, either by selling the property or through other means.
Most lenders require that the rental income is at least 125% to 145% of your monthly mortgage payments. This ensures that even if the property is vacant for a period, you will still have enough income to cover the payments.
Buy to Let mortgages are typically available for properties that you intend to rent out. However, some lenders may have restrictions on the type of property, such as holiday homes or properties that require significant renovation.
Yes, Buy to Let mortgages generally require a larger deposit compared to residential mortgages. Most lenders ask for at least a 25% deposit, though some may require more depending on your financial situation and the property value.
Interest rates for Buy to Let mortgages are usually higher than those for residential properties. The rate you get will depend on factors such as the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, your credit score, and the property’s rental income potential.
Buy to Let properties are subject to the same Stamp Duty rates as second homes, which includes a 3% surcharge on top of the standard Stamp Duty rates. You can use our Stamp Duty calculator to find out how much you’ll owe when purchasing a Buy to Let property.
If your property remains vacant and you don’t receive rental income, you’ll still need to make your mortgage payments. It’s important to have a contingency plan, such as savings, to cover these periods.
