2019 will be the year for limited company and buy-to-let

Research shows lenders are expanding their product range for buy-to-let limited company mortgages. This has come about since the announcement of the tax changes landlords now are facing.

Limited company buy-to-let mortgages now account for nearly 28% of all products on offer. Not all lenders offer buy-to-let mortgages to limited companies, but we can confirm this is changing all the time. More lenders are recognising limited company business is going to become a great deal more popular than years gone by.

The cost of a limited company mortgage is on average 0.7% higher than the normal product plus some set-up fees are higher as well. Most of the fees payable are on a percentage basis and range from 0.5% to 1.5% and an investor should be very careful of their choice.

Around 50% of the products currently on offer are available at 75% loan to value and as always better deals are on offer at lower loan to values.

The number company buy-to-let mortgages this year has currently accounted for 44% of all applications but this is rising month on month.

Is it complicated to apply?

The application process takes slightly longer than the regular one. There are a few more questions to be answered on the application form but nothing serious. New limited company products are appearing on a daily basis, it’s strongly recommend potential borrowers seek advice of an independent adviser as products vary in so many different ways.
