Portfolio Buy-to-Let Landlords

Portfolio buy-to-let mortgages cater to landlords who own multiple rental properties. Unlike standard buy-to-let mortgages, these specialist products consider your entire portfolio and the overall financial health of your investments.

Application Process:

  1. Evaluate Your Portfolio: Organise detailed information about all your properties, including their value, rental income, and existing mortgage details.

  2. Speak to a Specialist Lender or Broker: You’ll need to find a lender who specialises in portfolio lending. A mortgage broker can help with this.

  3. Submit Your Application: Provide details of your portfolio, income, expenses, and any future investment plans. You’ll also need to submit financial documents, such as bank statements and tax returns.

  4. Lender’s Stress Test: The lender will apply stress tests to assess whether your rental income is sufficient to cover mortgage payments, even under challenging conditions.

  5. Portfolio Valuation: The lender will conduct valuations on your properties to ensure they meet the required loan-to-value (LTV) criteria.

  6. Receive Your Mortgage Offer: Once the lender is satisfied with your portfolio’s performance, they will issue an offer.

Factors Lenders Consider:

  • Portfolio Performance: Lenders will examine the rental income, void periods, and the equity held across your properties.

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV): Most lenders will require an LTV of 75% or lower across the portfolio.

  • Experience as a Landlord: Experienced landlords with a successful track record are viewed more favourably.

  • Stress Testing: Lenders will ensure that rental income is sufficient, even if interest rates rise or rental demand fluctuates.
