Video transcript
It`s been a boom time for rented accommodation and landlords looking to expand their portfolios may want to look into buy to let remortgages so that they have the finances to do so. However many new landlords are entering into this market by remortgaging their own home and using the money as a deposit on a buy to let.Figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) show that in the first quarter of 2013, landlord home loans totalled £4.2 billion across 33,500 loans, which represents some 13.4 per cent of total mortgage lending in the country.
With first-time buyers still struggling to get a foot on the property ladder, demand may continue to go in one direction and remortgaging an existing buy to let property could release the funds needed by a landlord to put a deposit down on new houses.
Releasing equity from your property doesn`t have to be spent on purchasing others – instead, you may decide to sink the money back into your existing portfolio in order to add extra rooms or provide additional features which could give your tenants a better quality of living, justifying a higher rent for the property in the future, some landlords even decide to do this via a second mortgage or secured loan.
Alternatively, buy-to-let remortgaging is necessary anyway when you come to the end of your existing mortgage deal and need to find an alternative deal so that you don`t end up on your current lender`s standard variable rate, which could see you paying back more each month.
