Finding the best interest rates and putting a deal together for our buy-to-let was straightforward with their help. The service was excellent.
Your first rental property is a big step, and buy-to-let lending plays by different rules to the residential mortgage you may already know. Lending is based largely on the rent the property will earn, deposits are usually larger, and the criteria change often. We translate all of it and find a lender happy to back a new landlord.
The numbers come first
Before you fall for a property, we run the expected rent against lender stress tests so you know early whether it stacks up. We also explain whether buying in your own name or through a limited company suits your plans, in plain terms, and recommend taking tax advice alongside.
Lenders who welcome new landlords
Some lenders prefer experienced landlords, so we go straight to those happy to lend to first-timers and compare them across the whole market. Not all buy-to-let mortgages are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we will flag anything you need to know.

First-Time Landlord Mortgages: your questions answered
How is a buy-to-let mortgage different?
Lending is based mainly on the expected rent rather than your salary, deposits are usually larger, and many buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We explain it all clearly.
How much deposit do I need as a first-time landlord?
Usually around 25 percent, though it varies by lender and the rental figures. We will tell you exactly what is needed for your plans.
Will lenders lend to a brand new landlord?
Yes, several are happy to. Some prefer experience, so we go straight to the ones who welcome first-time landlords.
Should I buy in my own name or a company?
It depends on your tax position and plans, and it is worth taking tax advice. We compare the mortgage options for both so you can decide with the full picture.
What is a rental stress test?
Lenders check the rent covers the mortgage by a set margin. We run the numbers up front so you know early whether a property works.
