Buy-to-Let mortgages are subject to the usual status checks. Loans can be arranged for terms of between five and 45 years and for up to 85% of the value of the property. Gross returns - the rent received before taking account of the cost of letting - such as management fees, maintenance, service charges ground rents and insurance varies between 7% and 10%. This can be less for very expensive properties. The average rental return in Britain today hovers around the 10% mark, and capital appreciation is likely to match, if not exceed, inflation for the foreseeable future. As a rule of thumb, the gross rents should be between 125% and 150% of the monthly mortgage payments. N.B. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
