Most banks are not keen on borrowers renting out any part of their property when they have a mortgage unless it is a specific mortgage called a buy to let. The buy to let mortgage means that you have more protection too.
Speak To A Financial Adviser – If you’re not an expert on mortgages the best thing to do is speak to an adviser or a broker who know the market and will know the best lenders to approach, as well as the best products that are out there.
Do Your Research – Make sure that you have a look into the market yourself to make sure that you are aware of the potential problems. Forums regarding mortgages can often tell you if a lender is particularly difficult to deal with, and can help you to increase you knowledge so that you know what you’re doing.
One of the main advantages of a buy to let mortgage is that you don’t typically pay it. Whereas the repayments on your own mortgage are made from your income or capital, it is usually the rental income you receive from your tenant which pays your buy to let mortgage.
Until the Credit Crunch in 2008, Buy To Let’s were incredibly popular as house prices sky rocketed in price from the 1980′s onwards, 90% added value in some cases was not uncommon. With the drying up of mortgage availability and the house prices contracting, they have dropped off sharply and as of the time of writing, are still to recover.
How Much Deposit on a Buy To Let? – Currently you can expect to be asked for a minimum 25% deposit from lenders, when that will drop is anyone’s guess. But as But To Let’s are normally second properties, it signals most landlords have money to burn, so if you’re a newcomer to the market, you have a uphill battle. Those seasoned in the market just have to work that bit harder to find an agreeable mortgage.
Research! Research! Research!- We can’t stress this enough, always shop around for the best mortgage rates, if you think you have a found a killer mortgage rate, keep looking just in case.
Cover The Building – Most lenders will require that you take out buildings insurance so that if any damage is done to the building, it’s covered as the property is the security for the buy to let mortgage. This will also protect you as you won’t have to foot the bill for certain structural repairs like broken roof tiles and windows.
Think About The Area – Think logically – if you’re buying a property that you want to rent out it needs to be in a place where people will want to rent. Near a school, close to shops and bus routes – all of these things will add to its appeal. Making sure that it is in a good state of repair will also increase its attractiveness.
The market for buy to let mortgages has tailed off since investment properties are not so popular, after the property market fell in recent years, but there are some good products still available so have a look around.

Second mortgage or home eueitiqs do show, when recorded and this is the issue. I used to work for a title company for a major lender and issues do arise. Some lenders send the home equity to be recorded themselves, lenders don’t know all the variables that go into a recording, they miscaculate fees, don’t know about cover pages, maybe there’s a dual tax id and it costs more, some states only accept single sided mortgages. Maybe the county rejects the mortgage as the font is too small, the notary stamp bled through the paper, or there is no stamp or seal at all. If it’s rejected, the county sends it back to the lender, who most times thinks the mortgage is recorded until the borrower goes to refinance and the he is not on record so it takes them 6-8 weeks to go to their vault where they hold everything to either figure out the mortgage was not recorded or they don’t have it at all.I don’t know why people like home eueitiqs, for some it’s a status thing ..I have a 500k home equity ..some need money quick and dont understand the full economic process and think home eueitiqs are a good deal because the rate is low. Like any other mortgage product, home eueitiqs have their usefullness, but it’s not for everyone or every situation
