Get an idea of how much you can borrow with our affordability calculator.

Where a 5-year fixed rate is not available, the lowest rate will be used, stressed at +2%. Please contact the team to discuss your specific circumstances.

With years of experience under our belt we can cater for aspiring first time landlords to portfolio investors. Our personal approach to mortgages allows us to assess each case individually on its own merits. This product requires a minimum 20% deposit and our loans range from £50,000 – £1.5 million.

Our flexible approach allows us to cater on a consumer buy to let basis, which can include any of the following scenarios:

A Let To Buy where the applicant owns no other investment properties.

The mortgage listed below moves on to our Standard Variable Rate, currently 4.9% (variable), after the initial rate period. There may be a limit on how low your interest rate can fall. This is called an ‘interest rate floor’. The interest rate floor applicable to your loan will be specified in your loan documentation.
