if you use a residential for BTL and the mortgage company find out they can call the loan in without notice meaning you could have to pay silly redemption penalties. its unlikely but worth noting | |

quote: if you want to rent it outyour best with BTL, mainly cus you can just pay the interest rate off (ie, your not paying any of the loan off) but taht allows you to let the rent ay it for you. banks etc will want to see a 125% return overthe mortgage payment. eg if the mortgage is £100 pcm you need to bring in at least £125 pcm. BTL's look at 15-25% min deposits. interest rates are slighly higher than a 'personal' mortgage. Eg, HSBC BTL rate is NOW 6.25% (bank of england's base rate is now 5.25%) you will get some Building Societies/banks offering less with discounted rates over 2 or 3 years or even fixed over so many years. I've 3 BTL's with HSBC, 1 with the Skipton, 1 with the Mortgage Works, 1 interest only mortgage with !st Direct (its not BTL tho) I do my own managment as no way am I paying 9-10% to someone each month for doing nothing. You will get a better feel for who u want to rent too. Get refernces from previous landlords, work, utlity bills showing they paid electric/water/ phone etc on the address they lived at before. get your own Assured Short Term Contracts from these people. http://www.oyezstraker.co.uk/main-03-01.htm they are pre printed and solicitor recognised... a pack of 5 will be about £12. I now do a min of 9month contract as 6months went too quick. If someone doesn't pay... its bummer, but mae sure you have a good deposit off them, I get an extra £100 on top of the deposit (normally one months rent) say the rent is £200 pcm, the deposit is £300 (returnable at the end of the cmntract f everything is as it should be) When they move in they pay One months rent in advance + the deposit. that would be then £500 to move in. you have to pay TAX on youe 'un earn earning' but easily done by getting a 'land and property' form for self assessment. get an accountand to do it for you. (about £150) any costs you pay out on the property (even the accountants cost) are TAX deductable. so you only then pay TAX on your profit over the year. its dead easy for an account to do it for you and they will know where and what you can save tax on!!! any other questions? | |

BTL is based on rental income and loan to value. 10-15% min deposit. You need to pay income tax on income - allowable expenses at your current tax rate | |

Or if anyone lets privately, what do you do if someone isn't paying? | |

As far as I'm aware....with a buy to let mortgage you generally need at least a 15% deposit and they don't take into account any other mortgages you may have. | |

I would imgaine there is some form of risk in terms of ensuring payments are made if buying to rent | |

Do you have a normal mortgage or a buy to let mortgage? Whats are the main differances between the two? | |

If the property is mortgaged, then interest payments and other expenses incurred are tax deductible, you will then be liable for tax on the capital payments. | |

do you have to pay tax on any rental that you get in over and above the mortgage repayments? | |
