A Buy to Let interest-only mortgage is a type of mortgage where you only pay the interest each month, with the capital borrowed repaid at the end of the mortgage term. This option can provide lower monthly payments, allowing landlords to maximise their cash flow and potentially increase their investment returns.
- Monthly Payments: Instead of paying both interest and capital, you only pay the interest portion of the loan each month.
- Capital Repayment: The capital borrowed is typically repaid in full at the end of the mortgage term using proceeds from the sale of the property, other investments, or refinancing.
- Lower Monthly Payments: Since you’re only paying the interest, monthly payments are lower compared to a repayment mortgage.
- Potential Investment Growth: Landlords can potentially use the cash flow saved to invest in other opportunities or property improvements, aiming for capital growth.
- Risk of Negative Equity: With an interest-only mortgage, the capital borrowed does not decrease over time, increasing the risk of negative equity if property values decline.
- Capital Repayment Strategy: It’s essential to have a viable strategy in place to repay the capital at the end of the mortgage term, such as property sale proceeds or investment returns.
- Rental Income: The rental income from the property should cover the interest payments.
- Capital Repayment Plan: Lenders may require a credible plan to repay the capital borrowed at the end of the mortgage term.
