Buy To Let Portfolio Mortgages Explained
If you have a portfolio of properties then you can keep all your buy-to-let mortgages together under the same package. So, essentially, it’s treated as a collective account rather than individual options. This means that it is managed by one lender and there’s only one payment every month.
The portfolio can be owned personally or registered as a limited company. The costs are treated as they would be for a typical business. You need two properties to be eligible for this type of mortgage option.
With this option, you will find that your mortgage is a lot simpler to manage. You can say goodbye to multiple statements and keep things organised.
You might be wondering why you need a portfolio mortgage. This may be due to the new laws and regulations that were brought in through 2016 by Prudential Regulation Authority. These are based on tightening up affordability tests and implementing additional checks as well.
