First Time Buy To Let
Welcome To Signature Search
Diving into the world of property investment, particularly buy-to-let, can be both thrilling and daunting, especially for first-timers. At SIGNATURE SEARCH, we’re here to demystify the process and guide you through the nuances of First Time and Portfolio Buy-To-Let investments. Let’s break down what this service entails and how it can be your gateway to becoming a savvy property investor.
Embarking on Your Property Investment Journey
Can First-Time Buyers Really Step into Buy-to-Let?
Absolutely! If you’re eyeing the property market with an investment lens for the first time, a buy-to-let mortgage can be within your reach. Though the path is slightly different from securing a residential mortgage—with considerations like higher deposits and stringent lending criteria—your dreams of property investment aren’t just fantasies. Especially if you’re currently living rent-free or have accommodation through your job, this route offers a solid start on the property ladder.
Navigating the Lending Landscape
Unlocking the Door to Buy-to-Let Mortgages
With around 20-25% lenders open to first-time buyer applications, options range from high street names to specialized mortgage lenders. Yet, the journey isn’t without its hurdles. Stringent criteria mean navigating a maze of requirements, from deposit sizes to rental income projections. But worry not, with a required deposit (think 20% or 25% of the property’s value) and a well-calculated rental income that comfortably covers mortgage repayments, you’re on your way to convincing lenders you’re a safe bet.
