Can I use a regular mortgage to purchase a buy to let property?
A typical standard mortgage will prohibit you from letting out the property or require you to get permission from the lender before you do so.
If you let the property out without informing the lender you could be in breach of your mortgage terms and faced with immediate repayment of the mortgage.
Buy to let mortgages are available which are specifically designed for buy to let investments. However, these will come with rigorous conditions that you will need to comply with.
As with any mortgage, we would recommend that you speak to a trusted adviser about the terms of a mortgage.
