Why Choose a Buy-to-Let Mortgage?

A buy-to-let mortgage is a type of loan designed for property investors who plan to rent out their property rather than live in it. It’s ideal if you:

  • Want to earn rental income and build capital growth
  • Are you a UK expat investing from abroad
  • Need finance as a limited company landlord
  • Plan to expand your buy-to-let property portfolio

We help you navigate the whole process from lender assessment to property valuation to ensure you meet affordability and stress test criteria under current UK mortgage regulations.

📌 Note: The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) does not regulate most buy-to-let mortgages. However, we maintain compliance best practices and full transparency throughout the mortgage journey.

Buy-to-Let Mortgages for Expat Landlords

If you’re living abroad and want to invest in UK rental property, you may face limited lender options or additional requirements, such as proof of income in a foreign currency.

We provide expat mortgage advice for landlords based in the UAE, EU, Asia, or beyond. Our team helps you:

  • Understand eligibility for UK expat buy-to-let mortgages
  • Compare lenders offering expat-specific criteria
  • Submit applications with full tax and income documentation
  • Get support navigating currency exposure and deposit requirements
