the mortgage lender looks upon it in the situation if they have to reposess the property they then have the problem of a sitting tenant they YOU put in there without them knowing etc thats why BTLs are slightly higher % rate than a normal rate mortgage. Also a BTL you put 30% ish down so you have colleateral in the property, NOT like a 100% mortgage some people have on normal mortgages. | |

quote: No, it doesn't work as simple as that, if you're renting it out you get a BUY TO LET Mortgage. these are slightly higher % rates than a 'normal' mortgage and the deposits needed start from about 15% to 25% The interest only is paid on a BTL also, you an do a re payment but there's no point paying the loan off as you can't get tax relief on the interest you pay and no benefit having it paid off TBH, some BTL you can't release funds from your equity either in the future (HSBC don't allow you to do it, hence no point having a small mortgage with you having a lot of collateral in the property). If you don't tell your mortgage lender your renting it out, you might have problems if you get problems with a tenant no paying you, the higher interest rate on your mortgage allows the fact they might have problems getting a tenant out if you get re possessed.

I asked my landlord to go halves on a washer and he said he wasnt going to as it meant if it ever went wrong he would have to start footing repair bills for something provided with the property, which is why he left it bare minimum, something to keep in mind | |

I was thinking of a cheap fitted kitchen with a gas cooker and hob and a fridge freezer, could probably get a washer cheap too, then a full bathroom with a electric shower, can get all that for free / next to nothing from work anyway | |

You choose, can be furnished, part furnished or unfurnished. Usually you have to provide the basics like plumbed in cooker/hob, shower, sink, cupboards etc, ive seen unfurnished places where tenants have to provide their own fridge/freezer its that bare | |

Not sure about mortgages, however the only real way of making sure people dont trash it is to either vet the tenant yourself, or word regular inspections into a contract, and also by maintaining a concise inventory for the start and finish of the tenancy. | |

I have my deposit for my first house now after alot of saving and while prices are low im looking to buy in summer / autumn, Im really not ready for moving out though yet and sort of like the thought of renting it out and having someone else pay the mortgage for me :D |
