What Is a Buy-to-Let Mortgage?
A buy-to-let mortgage is a type of loan specifically designed for purchasing property to rent out. At Ubique Investment Group, we facilitate buy-to-let financing to enable landlords to generate rental income and expand their real estate assets.
These mortgages typically have different terms compared to residential mortgages, including higher interest rates due to the perceived risk associated with rental properties and larger deposit requirements, often around 20% to 40%.
Additionally, the lender may base the mortgage affordability assessment on the property's potential rental income rather than the applicant's personal income. This involves calculating the interest coverage ratio, ensuring that rental income covers 125% to 145% of the mortgage payments.
Our clients range from first-time landlords to experienced investors looking to diversify their property investment portfolios. Contact us today to discuss your buy-to-let mortgage options and take the next step in your property investment journey.
How Much Does a Buy-to-Let Mortgage Cost?
Buy-to-let mortgages typically start from around 3% interest per annum. The exact rate can depend on factors like credit history, property value, and rental yield.
Additionally, lenders often consider the rental coverage ratio, which measures the rent you can achieve relative to the mortgage interest payments, typically requiring a minimum of 125% to 145%. Deposits usually range from 20% to 40% of the property's price, and these may vary based on whether the property will be furnished or unfurnished.
At Ubique Investment Group, we help you navigate these variables to find competitive mortgage rates that suit your investment strategy. Our team can guide you on stress tests performed by lenders, which assess your capability to maintain mortgage payments if interest rates rise.
We suggest consulting on potential legal and survey fees, which add to the overall cost. Get in touch to discuss your options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Deposit Is Required for a Buy-to-Let Mortgage?
A buy-to-let mortgage usually requires a deposit of 20% to 40% of the property's value. The exact amount depends on lender conditions and your financial profile.
How Do I Calculate Rental Yield?
Rental yield is calculated by dividing the annual rental income by the purchase price of the property, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. It’s a key factor lenders consider.
Can I Switch My Residential Mortgage to a Buy-to-Let?
Yes, you can switch from a residential to a buy-to-let mortgage, but you will need to consult your lender and may face additional fees or changes in terms.
Are Interest-Only Mortgages Available?
Yes, interest-only buy-to-let mortgages are available. They offer lower monthly payments because you are only paying off the interest, not the principal, during the mortgage term.
