      What Is a Buy-To-Let Property?

      Put simply, a buy-to-let property is a property purchased by an investor to be let out to tenants. Investors can buy pre-existing, completed properties or, through off-plan investment, those still in the initial construction stages.

      Once the property has been tenanted, investors earn monthly income from the rent paid by their tenants in the short term. In the long term, they can also see significant returns on their initial investment when they eventually sell, through capital appreciation.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          London boasts one of the UK’s most in-demand rental markets and receives investment from various worldwide sources.

          The latest predictions for buy-to-let in London show potential for stable capital growth in the coming years. According to Savills, London is expected to see 14.2% growth in the mainstream property market. However, this figure is lower than the predicted average growth for the whole of the UK (21.6%) and the lowest of all UK regions as per Savills’ forecast.

          A buy-to-let mortgage is a popular way for investors to acquire a buy-to-let property. This type of mortgage allows you to borrow money to purchase an investment property you intend to rent. A buy-to-let mortgage is essential if you plan to rent out a property you don’t own outright.

          These differ from traditional residential mortgages as you pay back the interest you accrue during the mortgage term rather than the borrowed amount. You only repay the borrowed money at the end of the mortgage term.

          Buy-to-let mortgages also have a higher initial deposit than traditional mortgages, with most requiring around 25% of the property’s cost as a down payment instead of the usual 10%. Interest rates on buy-to-let mortgages are also higher, so you will have to pay a higher rate than you would for a traditional residential mortgage.

          Most lenders require investors to have a minimum of £25,000 before they can provide a buy-to-let mortgage.

          However, some specialist lenders will offer mortgages with no minimum income specifications.

          You will pay tax on any buy-to-let property you own in several different ways and at several different stages of the process of buying and owning an investment property.

          These include:

          • Stamp Duty Land Tax
          • Income Tax
          • Capital Gains Tax

          Always consult with an expert when unsure about the tax required on a buy-to-let property. Additionally, it’s important to stay updated with any changes to tax bands and allowances by checking the official UK government website.

          Generally, a good rental yield is anything between 5 and 8%.

          Rental yields can differ heavily between property type and location, so it’s important that you take the time to research the best areas before deciding to invest.

          Zoopla puts the average price of a buy-to-let property in London at £496,124, which yields an average of 4.95%.

          Some areas in London are considered the worst in the country for yields, meaning it is vital that investors choose their area carefully to maximise returns. Rather than invest directly in central London, some investors have started looking at nearby commuter towns such as Luton, where the average price of property is lower and yields can potentially be more robust. Zoopla states that the average yield in Luton is 6.08%.
