Considering Remortgaging Your Buy-to-Let Property?
You can remortgage your buy-to-let property if you’re looking to get better rates, to release some equity to grow your property portfolio, or even if you want to move back into a property you once rented out. However, getting the best buy-to-let remortgage deal depends on your situation. Mortgage lenders for buy-to-let properties will consider various factors but most importantly, they’ll want to know why you’re looking to remortgage.
Factors to Keep in Mind
As your current buy-to-let mortgage deal approaches its end, typically within six months, consider remortgaging to avoid being transferred to your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). This is also a great opportunity to seize better buy-to-let remortgage rates available in the market. Don’t forget to review your options before your current fixed rate or tracker mortgage expires, as specialist brokers like EndPoint Mortgages often have access to the best deals.
Factors that will affect your buy-to-let remortgage include your reasons for remortgaging, your rental performance, tenant profile, income, and property value, etc. By understanding and addressing these factors, you can improve your chances of securing a better buy-to-let remortgage deal. Speak to one of our advisors to secure the best buy-to-let remortgage deals.

Why consider a buy-to-let property through a limited company?
Limited company buy-to-let mortgages enable landlords to acquire rental properties through a corporate entity, separating personal and business portfolios and offering tax advantages.
- Tax Efficiency: Rental profits from limited company-owned properties are subject to Corporation Tax at a static rate of 19%, potentially resulting in lower overall tax payments compared to privately-owned properties.
- Expense Offsetting: Limited companies can offset various expenses against rental income, including mortgage interest and maintenance costs, providing landlords with additional tax relief.
However, landlords should consider potential drawbacks, such as increased administrative burdens and higher mortgage interest rates. Changes in Corporation Tax rates could also affect future tax liabilities. Speak to us for insights and expert advice on whether this option is suitable for your situation.
How to set up a limited company buy-to-let mortgage
