FTB BTL Mortgage - help please!

Hello! As stated, I am a first time buyer looking for a buy to let mortgage. I understand this limits my options but I’m trying to go through brokers and banks directly to see who will offer me a good deal but I was just wondering if anyone had any advice to help speed this along, or to point me in the right direction. I plan on putting down a deposit of over 40%, leaving the mortgage to cover the remaining 60%. Income for the apartment is estimated to be around 5% of the cost of the apartment itself. It is a newbuild too with completion due in Sept. The best I can find right now is 1.8% for 5 years fixed. Is this the best I will be able to get, does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Have you checked you can actually rent it out? There are often restrictions on new builds.

The Mortgages & Endowments board is better suited for your query.0

Yes, first thing I did before putting any money down. I have letting agents lined up as well as potential tenants so having it occupied will not be an issue. Thanks.0 -

I didn't think you could get a BTL loan unless you already owned your own home. Or is this outdated?

Yeah I’ve got a B2L mortgage without owning my home. Not many products so rates are higher but it can be done.Mutton_Geoff said:I didn't think you could get a BTL loan unless you already owned your own home. Or is this outdated?

If you don’t mind my asking, did you go through a broker or direct?thegentleway said:
