Providers that cater to borrowers with any one of these credit issues will base their lending decisions on the severity of the credit issue – for example, a missed payment on a credit card is less severe than a bankruptcy – and the more senior the credit issue, they will be more willing to lend.

Mainstream lenders prefer that borrowers are in secure full-time employment. However, we can help you connect with expert buy-to-let mortgage advisers who can cater to customers whose Income includes…

Later-life buy-to-let brokers

Tenant types

Your ability to attract the type of tenants you want after you get your BTL mortgage will also affect the number of lenders willing to lend you credit.

The easiest borrowers offer assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs) to young professionals or families. However, any of the above may require a specialist lender.

• Student lets
• HMOs
• Tenants receive DSS rental assistance
• Tenants for short-term
• Tenants with non-standard contracts

Each of these areas is considered to be niche.

Specialist buy-to-let advice should be sought by landlords interested in these areas to get the best deals. Enquire today to discuss buy-to-let mortgages, rental property and any other residential mortgage.

Experienced landlords need brokers

First-time buyers will have more difficulty getting a BTL mortgage than professional landlords. Those with extensive portfolios may need to work with a specialist lender.

Some BTL mortgage providers limit the number of mortgages a borrower can hold to four to five, while others have higher limits or none.

If you are a professional landlord with an extensive rental income portfolio, seeking specialist advice on buy-to-let property investments is always recommended before adding another property.

Why would I seek advice from a broker who specialises in buy-to-let mortgages?

Simply put, there is a lot of buy-to-let available. Not every lender can offer the best interest rates because they use different criteria. If you wish to move from your existing lender, we are here to help.

It is not a good idea to approach as many lenders as possible. Too many applications could hurt your credit score and the time involved. Rate tables can be problematic as they often give prominence to sponsored products and don’t provide a complete market overview.

Consider these points when choosing a broker that has access to the entire market. You will have access to all the best deals you are eligible for. Enquire here today.

Fees for a mortgage broker who sells buy-to-let

Broker fees vary from one deal to the next. They will depend on how complex the agreement is and what type of buy-to-let mortgage you are applying for. Portfolio landlords, which have four or more properties, tend to be more complicated than other borrowers.

There are buy-to-let mortgage brokers who charge no fees. However, many will charge between £500 to £999. Other brokers may charge 3-4% of the loan amount. BTL broker fees, secured loans, and second Mortgages can also be higher.

Do I have to choose a BTL broker that is fee-free?

It is essential to determine the total cost of the mortgage before you decide whether to use a fee-free mortgage broker or one that charges. If the interest rate you end up on is too high, it’s not worth taking a deal without a broker fee.

Also, be aware of any deals that have high upfront fees. Brokers should not be paid based on their success. Therefore, the buy-to-let mortgage brokers we work with will only charge if they find you a deal. If they cannot help you, they will refund any upfront fees.
