Whether you are considering a rental property or reviewing an existing buy-to-let mortgage, Winwell can help you understand the lending options and the information a lender will need.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Some buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
01
A different affordability picture
Buy-to-let lenders consider the property's rental potential as well as their other criteria. Deposit requirements, rental-cover tests and product availability vary. We avoid treating a calculator or a general rule as a promise of lending.
02
Plan for the costs of ownership
Periods without tenants, repairs, insurance, legal costs and mortgage charges can all affect your plans. We help you consider the mortgage alongside these practical commitments.
03
Individual or company borrowing
Your ownership structure matters. We can discuss the mortgage requirements for individuals and limited companies. Obtain appropriate tax advice before choosing a structure; the mortgage decision should not be treated as tax advice.

Your questions
Are buy-to-let criteria the same for every lender?
No. Rental-cover requirements, deposits, property types and personal circumstances are assessed differently between lenders.
Can you help review an existing rental-property mortgage?
Yes. Contact us with the mortgage and property details so we can discuss your options.
