Buy to Let Mortgage Advice for UK Landlords
Mortgage advice for landlords purchasing or remortgaging rental properties.
Understanding Buy to Let Mortgages
A buy to let mortgage is designed for properties you intend to rent out rather than live in. Lenders assess applications based on factors such as deposit size, expected rental income, affordability and the type of property.
At Casa UK Mortgages, we support you throughout the mortgage process. We review your circumstances, explain the options available and search across a wide panel of lenders to help identify a suitable solution.
Whether you are:
- buying your first buy to let property
- remortgaging an existing rental property
- looking for a better rate
- expanding your portfolio in your personal name
we are here to guide you through each step.

How Buy to Let Mortgages Are Assessed
Buy to let mortgages are assessed differently from residential mortgages. Lenders will usually consider:
- the size of your deposit
- the expected rental income from the property
- your income and financial commitments
- your credit history
- the type of property you want to buy
- your landlord experience in some cases
Most buy to let mortgages require a larger deposit than residential mortgages, and not every lender uses the same criteria. This is where professional mortgage advice can make a real difference.
We Can Help With:
✓ First-time landlord mortgages
✓ Purchasing a rental property
✓ Reviewing your current mortgage rate
✓ Expanding a property portfolio in your personal name

Buy to Let Mortgage Questions
What deposit is required for a buy to let mortgage?
Most buy to let mortgages require a deposit of at least 20–25% of the property value. The exact requirement will depend on the lender, the rental income and your overall financial circumstances.
Can I get a buy to let mortgage as a first-time landlord?
Yes, many lenders will consider applications from first-time landlords. Criteria may differ between lenders, so it can be helpful to speak with a mortgage adviser who can explain the options available.
Is rental income important for a buy to let mortgage?
Yes. Lenders usually assess whether the expected rental income from the property is sufficient to cover the mortgage payments and meet their affordability requirements.
Can I remortgage an existing rental property?
Yes. Landlords often remortgage to secure a new interest rate, release equity from a property or review their current mortgage arrangements.
Can I speak to a mortgage adviser before applying?
Yes. If you would like to discuss your situation or ask questions, you can book an initial conversation, and we will be happy to guide you through the options available.
Speak With a Mortgage Adviser
Buying or refinancing a rental property can involve different lending criteria compared with residential mortgages. Speaking with a mortgage adviser can help you understand the options available and how lenders may assess your circumstances.
