Buy-To-Let
🏘️ Buy-to-Let Mortgages Made Easy
Thinking of becoming a landlord? Already own investment property and want to expand your portfolio? We can help you secure the right Buy-to-Let mortgage, even if your situation is outside the mainstream.
At Af & Associates, we work with a wide range of lenders — including specialist lenders — to help you finance single lets, HMOs, multi-unit blocks, and more.
💡 What Is a Buy-to-Let Mortgage?
A Buy-to-Let mortgage is designed for people buying a property to rent out, not to live in. It works differently from a standard residential mortgage — lenders look at the rental income, not just your personal income, to assess affordability.
🧩 When Might You Need a Specialist Buy-to-Let Lender?
Not everyone fits the “vanilla” profile. You may need a specialist lender if:
-
You only have a small deposit (15–20%)
-
You're self-employed or retired
-
You want to buy through a limited company (SPV)
-
The property is a HMO, above commercial premises, or needs work
-
You have a poor credit history or previous mortgage issues
-
You're an expat or overseas landlord
Don’t worry — we work with lenders who are happy to consider these scenarios and more.

Property details and value

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
-
You’ll usually need a higher deposit than a residential mortgage
-
Most lenders expect the rental income to cover the mortgage payments (stress-tested)
-
If the property needs work, you may need a bridge-to-let or refurbishment loan
-
Specialist lenders may offer more flexibility, but rates and fees can vary
