In his latest column Chris Morgan offers advice on Buy to Let property. Kenneth has an amount of 30,000 that he would like to invest in his future. He likes the idea of buying a property to let out to tenants. This would mean taking a second mortgage, as he already has one already on his residential home. Kenneth said Im unsure whether Id be allowed to have two mortgages? Id be able to afford both monthly payments, as the rental income would more than cover the new mortgage. Are there any lenders that would give me the money? There are many Buy to Let mortgage lenders that would advance Kenneth the money, providing he has a 15% deposit. They would use the monthly rental income to justify the mortgage, providing it exceeds the interest payable by 130%. There are many types of specialist mortgages for landlords, with the most common either fixed or discounted variable options. Whichever type you select the interest will be tax deductible, providing you choose a loan that is specifically for letting property. Kenneth Continued Im not even going to have to find a tenant, as I already have a friend who would like to rent the new property. They want to find a nice place to let in my local area and are not in the position to get a mortgage themselves. Heres some advice for prospective landlords You should try and avoid Buy to Let lenders who charge a percentage of the loan as an arrangement fee and only pay a flat fee of a few hundred pounds. If your mortgage broker is independent they are obliged to offer you the opportunity to pay their fees by hourly rate. You should take out the loan on an interest only basis and not try and repay the capital, as its important that you create a margin. The difference between the monthly payments and rental received should be saved for repairs, decorating and unlet periods. Most lenders will require that you get your tenants to sign an assured shorthold tenancy agreement for either 6 or 12 months. You will be able to acquire an example from a legal stationers, or from a letting agent if you are using one. And Kenneth? We raised a mortgage for him of 170,000 at a fixed rate of 5.14%, using his 30,000 as a deposit. The monthly payment will be 728 per month, with his friend paying rent of 950 per month. The lenders arrangement fee on this deal was a flat 449, with the broker fee a flat 500.
