FAQs

Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage if I don’t already own a home?

No, you need to be an owner-occupier to get a buy-to-let mortgage with us. We accept first-time landlords though.

How much deposit do I need?

It varies depending on what mortgage you have. Deposits start from a minimum of 25% of the purchase price.

How do you assess affordability?

We'll review your personal circumstances and carry out a credit check. We also take rental income into account.

Is there a maximum age I can take my mortgage up to?

Yes, the maximum age you can be at end of your mortgage term is 85.

What’s the difference between a Fixed Rate mortgage and a Tracker mortgage?

Fixed Rate mortgages have an interest rate that’s set for a fixed period of time. Your payment will stay the same during this time, no matter what other interest rates do.

Tracker mortgages are a type of variable rate mortgage that follow (track) the movements of another rate, most commonly the Bank of England base rate.
