Buy-to-let mortgages

Mortgages to help your property investment

A helping hand for landlords

Whether you're starting out or expanding your property portfolio, we've got a range of mortgages to suit you.

  • Our current rates
    You could have low monthly payments with our latest rates.
  • Up to 75% Loan to Value mortgage
    You'll need a minimum 25% deposit for a buy-to-let mortgage.
  • Standard valuation
    All our mortgages come with a standard property valuation, so there's less for you to think about.
  • Apply by phone or online
    You can speak to one of our mortgage advisers or apply online.

Think carefully before securing other debts against your property. Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
