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 which 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 the 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 reducing to 18% in 2018, and 17% in 2019.
