Our Solicitors specialise in buy-to-let mortgage transactions

Buy To Let Lenders Panels

Our conveyancing department is on the Buy to Let lender’s panels which remove the additional costs of having a separate solicitor act for the lending institution.

Buy to let lenders are not often considered mainstream providers, and specialist knowledge is needed to meet their requirements. We are members of most panels that undertake Buy to Let mortgages.

What services do we offer?

  • Buy-to-let investment purchases tailored to the property investor, whether first-time or professional and seasoned investors. We have acted for large development companies and individuals going into buy-to-let property investment for the first time.
  • Auction sales and purchases
  • Buy-to-let mortgages and remortgages
  • Advice on buy-to-let property ownership involving more than one person and declarations of trust
  • Equity release, including reversion schemes
  • Tenancy agreements

What is the current tax position?

As of April 2017, mortgage interest relief has been gradually reduced from 45% to the basic rate of tax for second homeowners, along with buy-to-let landlords.

However, this change does not affect limited companies, which can still offset 100% of their mortgage payments. Furthermore, no income tax is payable on retained profit, meaning more money is available to reinvest. Although corporation tax is payable, this is still lower than the higher rate of income tax payable by an individual. It currently sits at 19%, and will be reduced to 18% in 2018 and 17% in 2019.
