How can we help you?

If it’s your first time buying a property for rental purposes, the process, financial responsibilities and legal obligations may feel daunting. However, Beechwood Mortgages will help simplify the jargon and enable you to consider the key differences when it comes to lenders and mortgages. Some things to consider include:

 

  • Fees and interest rates are often higher than residential deals
     

  • Cash reserves are crucial, preparing you for any major repair work
     

  • Larger deposits are required by lenders
     

  • If a property is unoccupied, you still need to meet your mortgage payments
     

  • As the full mortgage amount is often paid back at the end of an agreed term, it is important for you to try to avoid relying on selling your investment home to pay off this debt
     

  • If house prices fall you may find that you'll be left to make up any financial difference on the mortgage using a different source of capital.
