While Buy to Let mortgages are similar to residential mortgages, there are important differences to consider. Buy to Let requires a larger deposit (typically 25%) and most lenders will base their lending on the rental income assessment received from the valuer.
Most Buy to Let mortgages will have a higher interest rate than that of a residential mortgage and the booking and arrangement fees tend to be much higher also.
Buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
