Buy-to-let mortgage TIPS

TIP OF THE WEEK 1: Proof of deposit and income.

It has become increasingly clear that many lenders need to see proof of deposit and sometimes proof of income (although there are still lenders who don't need/want proof of income). Even the ones that don't ask for it upfront can ask after the valuation has been carried out, or even later down the line after a formal mortgage offer.

To make sure this doesn't catch you out, we always advise the following:

TIP OF THE WEEK 2: Looking for a buy to sell mortgage - and bypass normal rental income?

Let's say you have found a property where the rental income is low and the property needs some refurbishment work. We have a lender that, subject to provable income, can bypass the normal rental criteria that is usually needed.

You can buy the property, do whatever works need doing and then sell on without early redemption penalties.
