Buy-To-Let Mortgages

New: Interest Only Buy-To-Let Mortgage

We launched our interest-only buy-to-let mortgage for buy-to-let properties to provide the market with a flexible, specialist mortgage it needs. We further enhanced our buy-to-let offering by adding a base rate tracker mortgage, adding additional term options. Borrowers can choose a 2-year fixed or tracker rate, and then move onto a revert tracker rate for 3 years in total.

Our base rate tracker mortgage features no early repayment charges after the initial 2-year rate. This provides borrowers with stability as they make long-term plans. This can include remortgaging, selling after a fixed period, or utilising our tracker options for the years ahead.

We pride ourselves on our ability to look at complex circumstances and make them simple. We do this by employing a bespoke approach and expert underwriting to each and every case. With a max term of 3 years and no tick box criteria, our specialist buy-to-let mortgages can provide optionality and breathing space for initial purchases, future long-term financing, or bridging loan exits.

Our buy-to-let fixed mortgage has three tiers, covering all kinds of borrowers and their requirements. Our tracker mortgage has four tiers, expanding how many scenarios we can work with. Whether our borrowers want to lock in their rates for a fixed period, or follow monetary policy and the wider market, we’ll find a suitable buy-to-let solution.

Our flexible specialist mortgages can cover:

Fast bridge exit & capital raising
Loans on individual properties up to £3m
First timers to Portfolio Pro’s – up to £10m with MFS
The ‘Rentally Challenged’ – Boost loan sizes through deferred interest, rolled up/deferred months, and top slicing
Small or large Multi-Unit Freehold Blocks & Houses in Multiple Occupation, to flats above commercial
Term length: 3 years, with possibility to leave earlier – optionality for investment strategies
Expats, foreign nationals, trusts or offshore companies
Holiday/Short term lets

Interest Only Buy-To-Let Mortgage

All you need to know:

How does a specialist buy-to-let mortgage work?What fees do I need to pay for a specialist mortgage?Can I apply for an interest-only buy-to-let mortgage?Can I get a mortgage when I have adverse credit?Are mortgages for buy-to-let interest only?How much deposit do I need for a specialist buy-to-let mortgage?Can I re-mortgage my buy-to-let?Can I change my mortgage to buy-to-let?

An interest-only buy-to-let mortgage is an investment mortgage on a property that the owner lets out to a 3^rd party in return for rental income. Typical 3^rd parties include a single person, a family, unrelated groups (e.g. students, several tenants each renting a room), a short term let like an AirBnB, or a corporate let where a company leases a flat for visiting staff or a local authority to let out to those requiring a home.

Most specialist mortgages are interest-only; meaning you pay monthly interest on the amount, however, this does mean that the capital borrowed at the start needs to be paid off at the end of the term either with the sale of the property, using savings to pay off the debt, taking a retention deal, or re-mortgaging with another lender.

There are a few fees you will need to be aware of when arranging an interest-only buy-to-let mortgage with MFS:

Admin Fee: £199 per property (max £995), payable when you want to proceed to a property valuation. This is free for existing MFS customers who currently have an active buy-to-let mortgage or bridging loan.
Product Fee: from 1.5% of the loan amount. This is paid when the loan is redeemed.
External fees: Valuation & Solicitor fees. All properties need a valuation from a surveyor, and a solicitor needs to be involved to ensure all things are correct and ownerships recorded.

Regardless of your circumstances you can apply for a interest-only buy-to-let mortgage if you have at least 25% deposit. However, it’s important to find a mortgage provider that considers your specific needs.

Our product has three tiers to suit a range of borrowers. Find all details and applicable products to you.

Alternatively, call our specialist mortgage team who are on hand to discuss your requirements and find the product which works best for you.

Our buy-to-let finance does cater for clients with adverse credit, which means we can take the below issues into consideration when assessing the application:

Missed mortgage payments
Unsecured card/loan payments
County Court Judgments (CCJs) & Defaults
Bankruptcy / Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) / Days receivables outstanding (DRO)

Our specialist buy-to-let mortgages are interest only. However, we do offer deferral of up to 2% and/or roll-up of up to 9 months of payments in order to boost loan sizes and provide flexibility.

The deposit needed will depend on your loan-to-value. Our maximum loan-to-value is 75% (for our Solutions BTL & Specialist BTL) and 70% (for our bespoke level). This means the minimum deposit you will require will be 25% of your property’s value.

Of course. Whether you are looking to re-mortgage from a different provider, exit another finance solution such as a bridging loan, or apply for another specialist mortgage from MFS, we will assess your application and provide you the finance you need.

You can, however this will depend on your intended use for the property. Your finance provider may allow you to move to a ‘consent to let’ agreement, however some lenders require you to take out a new mortgage on the property to move it from a residential to a buy-to-let. You will also need to ensure your asset is compliant with your local council’s buy-to-let rules and regulations if you are changing the use of the property.
