Student Finance Plan 2 and Post Graduate Loan - PAYE and Property Income

I may be able to buy a BTL property but unsure if student finance repayment will be due on it.

Let's say, I have a PAYE income of £48,000 (gross PA) and if I buy a BTL property then the rental income will be circa £20,000.

This makes my total income to be £68,000.

I know I will need to effectively pay 40% tax on the property income and will only get 20% mortgage credit relief which means I end up paying double the tax on mortgage compared to a 20% tax payer (assuming no other expenses).


What about student finance repayment? How will it work for rental property? Does this mean I will pay 9% above £26k on Plan 2 Student Loan and 6% above 21k on Postgraduate Loan on full 68k or does the rental income get treated like a second job and as it is below the threshold, I don't need to pay any repayment on the student finance.


Any guidance is appreciated.
