Act quickly before the Buy to Let changes kick in!

Wednesday, February 24th, 2016

The recently announced Government changes to the stamp duty tax payable on Buy to Let properties has been well advertised, but what many news headlines do not do is explain exactly what the potential impact could be on an individual investor.

Clearly there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration when advising on the best of Birmingham’s Buy to Let mortgage solutions for those looking to invest in property. What remains clear is that access to great mortgage advice remains a critical component for those looking to protect and even maximise their return on investment.

Now combine the impact of these stamp duty changes with the other regulatory changes that are being introduced on 21st March this year and all of a sudden the Buy to Let landscape both in Birmingham and beyond becomes significantly less clear.

Many Buy to Let mortgage lenders have already made changes to their products and associated lending criteria and the rest are very likely to follow soon. Some of these changes will tighten the eligibility criteria for those trying to obtain mortgages for Buy to Let whereas others are likely to result in certain lenders placing restrictions on permitted borrowing levels.

Consumer Buy to Let

One of the most significant regulatory changes that may affect a number of people is the introduction of a ‘Consumer Buy to Let’ classification, also known as “accidental landlords”. These changes will affect non-professional landlords who often need a take out a Buy to Let mortgage following a change of circumstances rather than for pure investment purposes.

Your initial consultation is free and you are under no obligation to proceed with a mortgage we recommend. There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The exact fee will depend on your circumstances and may be reduced depending on the loan amount and any commission we receive from the lender. It is estimated that the fee will be £595, but it may range from £495 to 1% of the amount you borrow. The fee is only payable on completion and can normally be added to the mortgage. This will be discussed and agreed with you before you make an application. Please ask for a personalised illustration.
