What it is

Most portfolio landlords now buy through a limited company SPV, and lender pricing on SPV borrowing has moved increasingly close to personal-name rates. We arrange buy-to-let finance for SPVs, HMOs, multi-unit blocks, holiday lets and serviced accommodation, up to 80% LTV and over terms as long as 30 years, through specialist lenders rather than relying solely on the high street.

Affordability is assessed on rental cover against a stressed pay rate, typically between 125% and 145% depending on tax status and product type. That stress test, rather than the headline interest rate alone, is often what determines how much you can borrow.

For growing portfolios, refinancing can also release equity from existing properties to provide capital for the next acquisition. That cycle of acquiring, refinancing and reinvesting is where much of our buy-to-let work sits.

Who it suits
  • You hold or plan to acquire investment property through a limited company SPV.
  • You own or are acquiring HMOs, multi-unit blocks, holiday lets or serviced accommodation.
  • You want to refinance existing property and release equity for your next acquisition.
  • You are building or restructuring a growing property portfolio.
  • You are an expat landlord who falls outside standard high-street lending criteria.

Most buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Where a regulated agreement is required, we will introduce you to an authorised firm.

Common questions

The questions we're asked most about btl mortgages. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.

For most portfolio landlords the tax treatment favours an SPV, though it is a question for your accountant. Lender pricing on SPV lending is now close to personal-name rates.

On rental cover against a stressed pay rate, typically 125% to 145% depending on tax status and product type.

Yes, including large HMOs, multi-unit blocks and serviced accommodation, through specialist lenders rather than high street ones.
