How many different buy to let mortgages are there on the market today?
Well, it’s anybody’s guess but the most recent figure I came across was around 2,000 different BTL mortgages, and they are being offered by up to (an estimated) 100 different lenders.
All of those products, and all of those lenders, will have different terms and criteria.
And they are constantly changing!
It’s no wonder that if you try to arrange your own finance, it all gets very confusing.
So don’t do it!
You’re almost certain to make a complete hash of it.
You really need a (really good) mortgage broker who is keeping an eye on what is happening (in the whole mortgage market), and who can sift and sort through all the (numerous) different options for you, and find you the right mortgage that you’re your specific needs.
I recently asked my mortgage broker to give me an example of what’s good on the market at the moment and he came up with these:
