Buy-to-Let Portfolio Mortgages
A Buy-to-Let portfolio mortgage is a product designed for landlords with more than one investment property.
Overview
Coreco are proud to be one of the most experienced Buy-to-let mortgage brokers in the London mortgage market – some of our advisors were around when the modern residential Buy-to-Let mortgages were initially launched.
This product offers one umbrella mortgage for more than one Buy-to-Let property, rather than having a mortgage on each property.
This removes the need for multiple mortgages with different lenders. One lender will finance the portfolio loan with one monthly payment and one statement. This makes things much easier to manage as a landlord.
A Buy-to-Let portfolio mortgage is a product designed for landlords with at least four investment properties. Each lender will have their own lending policy on the number of properties or the total value within a single portfolio mortgage.
Our brokers are familiar with portfolio lenders’ criteria and are happy to advise and find a suitable lending option based on your portfolio requirements. Lenders will view and assess each property portfolio based on its own leverage, structuring and tenancy types.
We have advised on portfolios in excess of 50 properties, with complicated group/subsidiary structuring.
Most experienced landlords can get a Buy-to-Let portfolio mortgage however, in 2017 new mortgage underwriting regulations from the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) came into effect which impacted the criteria. With the new regulations in effect, lenders must treat you (for underwriting purposes) as a portfolio landlord if you have four or more mortgaged properties.
Lenders will apply slightly higher ICR (Interest Coverage Ratio) to your current lending and new proposed lending.
Portfolio lending can have a degree of affordability applied to the underwriting to mitigate any rental void periods, that there is sufficient income/s to service the proposed lending.
When it comes to buy to let and portfolio mortgages there are other considerations that the lender will take into account. Different lenders will conduct different checks but things to be prepared for include:
