Frequently Asked Questions
As the name suggests, buy to let is the process of purchasing a property with the sole intent to rent it out to a third party. This is done to generate a regular stream of income and potentially capitalise on an increase in value should you decide to sell the property further down the line.
While investing in buy to let property can be lucrative, it is not without its pitfalls. This is why it’s important to seek specialist legal advice throughout your time as a BTL landlord, so you can minimise your risk and achieve your objectives in the most straightforward way possible.
Although buy to let can provide a steady stream of income and help you generate capital, it is subject to a greater level of taxation than other investments, and is unlikely to deliver short-term results. It’s therefore only suitable for those who can afford to absorb unforeseen costs and are happy to take a long-term approach to investment.
If you’re thinking about investing in buy to let property or building a BTL portfolio, you should speak to an experienced buy to let conveyancing solicitor who will take a holistic view of your situation and be honest about whether it is right for you. If you decide to proceed, they will support you throughout your time as a BTL landlord.
There are several important steps to building a buy to let portfolio. These include doing careful research and being clear about your goals. You should also seek to specialise in one type of property and be precise with your timing. Above all, it’s crucial to seek comprehensive legal advice at the earliest opportunity to support you at every step.
While there’s technically no limit to the amount of buy to let mortgages you can have, some lenders may restrict you. This is because BTLs are seen as more risky than regular mortgages. In addition, the more BTL mortgages you want to have, the more legal hoops you will need to jump through to prove you can afford the investment.
BTL properties are usually sold to capitalise on an increase in value from when they were first purchased. It’s possible to sell your buy to let property either while it’s vacant, or if you currently have a tenant in place. However, if you choose to sell while you still have a tenant, you will limit your pool of potential buyers.
