Limited Company Buy to Let mortgages are becoming more popular with landlords, particularly those with multiple properties or ambitions to have a portfolio one day. With this, more lenders are offering Ltd Co Buy to Let’s than ever before. See below some high level information about these mortgages and the requirements some lenders have.
A limited company buy-to-let mortgage is a type of mortgage designed for individuals or groups purchasing rental properties through a limited company rather than in their personal names, usually this would be via a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
Obtaining a limited company buy-to-let mortgage involves setting up a company for property rental, finding a suitable property, and applying for a mortgage with a lender. The lender will assess your company’s financial health and will likely require personal guarantees from directors. All directors of the business will be underwritten in accordance with the lenders criteria and will be credit searched as a part of the process. Although most lenders will look at the directors personal income and outgoings, the mortgage affordability is usually based on the property’s value and expected rental income.
There are a number of benefits with a Limited Company mortgage, one if that it allows landlords to deduct mortgage interest as a business expense, potentially lowering taxable profits. Profits are subject to corporation tax, which is often lower than personal income tax rates. Additionally, using a limited company can provide better tax planning opportunities, such as distributing profits as dividends. This structure can also offer enhanced asset protection and make it easier to transfer ownership or sell shares in the company. It also supports scalability, making it simpler to expand your property portfolio efficiently.
