Whilst assessing your buy to let mortgage application, some lenders will want to see that your income is at least £25,000 pa, whereas others will not focus on your personal income and advance your application once you have evidenced your deposit. The deposit that you will need to supply is usually between 25%-40% of the buy to let property price. This can differ depending on the size of your buy to let portfolio. It can be much easier to get a buy to let mortgage as a current homeowner, however, if you are a first time buyer and want to invest in property, it can sometimes be possible to get a buy to let with no experience buying a property. This is a very specialist topic and it may be best to get buy to let mortgage advice in Southampton. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some types of buy to let or commercial mortgages.

Apply NowMost lenders will expect a minimum of a 25% deposit for your buy to let property. This percentage is taken from the value of the property. Depending on factors, such as the size of your existing buy to let portfolio, this can total can vary somewhere between 20-40%.
How much you can borrow for a buy to let in Southampton is worked out through your projected rental income for the property. It is also important to know that the majority of mortgage lenders will need applicants to have their own income through a main job or self employment.
Some lenders may not be interested in your personal income if you have the deposit in place. On the other hand, some will want you to earn a minimum of £25,000 pa or more.
It all depends on the amount of equity in your property. Some landlords may let you release some of this equity in the form of a remortgage to use on a buy to let property in Southampton. Usually, lenders will still be looking for a minimum of a 25% deposit, but in some cases, this can be 20-40%.
As a first time buyer, it may be slightly more challenging to obtain a buy to let mortgage, however, it is not impossible. Most lenders would favour an applicant who is a current homeowner over someone who hasn't made mortgage payments before.
