Reasons to get a Buy to Let Mortgage
Following recent changes in the Buy to Let market, some investors may find this product less appealing. However, if done correctly, building a buy to let portfolio can be very profitable.
Here are some benefits:
- Rental Profit
One of the main advantages is the potential for earning an income from rental income. If the rent you charge covers your mortgage repayments, you essentially have someone paying your mortgage for you. - Increased Property Value
Over time property generally increases in value. Although this is not a guarantee, many investors do benefit from capital growth when they sell the property in the future. - Tax Benefits
You can claim tax relief on mortgage interest payments in some instances and there are other tax advantages if you put your properties into a limited company. This means you could reduce the overall tax costs related to your investment. - Builds your Portfolio
Adding a property to your investment portfolio can diversify your assets, and reduce the risk of having all your investments in one place. - Planning for Retirement
Income from your rental property can provide a source of income during your retirement years.
We understand that people have mixed views on Buy to Let mortgages, especially following the recent stamp duty rate changes announced for those looking to purchase an additional property. It is important to do your research and think about both the benefits, and possible risks.
