A let to buy purchase and mortgage is the process of renting out the current property that you own and live in, as a means to purchase your new home.
For this to be achieved, you will need to remortgage your home, switching it from a residential mortgage and changing it onto a new let to buy mortgage instead.
Furthermore on this point, you will also be taking on a brand new mortgage on another property, this one being the new home that you are moving to.
Both mortgages will run alongside each other, as you will need to release funds from one of them, in order to put down the deposit on the other one. You won’t necessarily use the same mortgage lender for each, they’re just separate entities that rely on each other.
As can probably be figured out by the similar sounding names, a let to buy mortgage is just another variation of the ever popular buy to let mortgage. The latter involves taking out a mortgage on a property, purely with the purpose of renting it out and generating income.
The difference when dealing with a let to buy mortgage in Manchester, is that they typically end up happening with “accidental” landlords. This is where you maybe don’t have plans initially to become a landlord, only to later decide that it is something you’d like to do.
Rather than going through all the stresses of selling a home and buying a new one, more often than not, homeowners will opt to rent out their home, using the income generated to pay off their brand new residential mortgage.
You should make sure that you are aware of all the costs when applying for a mortgage, and this is very much the same for a let to buy mortgage in Manchester. Stamp Duty will not apply to everyone, so it is always important to check ahead of time.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some types of buy to let or commercial mortgages.
A let to buy mortgage in Manchester, as we have mentioned, typically happens when the homeowner of a residential property decides that they actually would like to become a landlord and remortgage their home, changing it from a residential mortgage onto a let to buy mortgage in Manchester. They also then look at buying a new home to live in.
Whilst there are both positives and negatives to a let to buy mortgage in Manchester, it’s important that you weigh up how important they are to you. As providers of mortgage advice in Manchester, we have a lot of expert knowledge on let to buy mortgages in Manchester and have put together a list of the pros and cons, below.
So first off, let’s take a look at the positive side of things. Instead of all the hassle you could go through in selling a property and then trying to buy a new one, taking out a let to buy mortgage instead could make your entire process much less stressful and also provide some additional income for you.
Then again, conversely to this, you are responsible for two properties and also your tenants (potentially a family looking to build a family home) and this in itself can prove to be quite a stressful endeavour in itself.
Furthermore, whilst you would have more income, let to buy mortgage rates are typically higher than residential mortgage rates and there are less mortgage lenders out there who offer this type of deal. That being said, those rates could be much more competitive and we also have plenty of mortgage lenders on our panel who can help with let to buy mortgages in Manchester.
You’ll also have to bear in mind the possible changes in property value. An increase in both properties values would obviously see you at an advantage if you ever wanted to sell up, though a drop in either or both could very much see you at a financial loss.
There may actually be much more suitable options out there for you instead of taking out a let to buy mortgage in Manchester. One of these could be to move into temporary or rental accommodation, whilst you take out a standard buy to let mortgage in Manchester or save up the funds to buy your next residential home.
The issue here is that this can be quite costly and in being in rental accomodation, you may also not match mortgage lender criteria for a buy to let mortgage in Manchester. Furthermore, it can be quite a costly and difficult cycle to move from rental property back to homeownership.
Another option could be consent to let. Here, a mortgage lender lets you rent out your residential home for a set length of time to earn some income, whilst you move into your new home.
This may sound easy, but entirely depends on mortgage lender. Additionally, getting a mortgage on a new home with consent to let in place on another one, may be a difficult process for some.

Your free initial mortgage consultation in Manchester will last roughly 30 mins. A dedicated advisor will then recommend a mortgage for you, with no obligation to accept and go forward and proceed with the mortgage in question, if you decide that it is not for you.
As trusted Mortgage Advice professionals in Manchester, we will carry out a Fact Find to establish your personal needs before we go ahead with recommending the most suitable mortgage for your situation. From there you will be credit checked, which is a requirement to obtain an Agreement in Principle. Once you have provided all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, you can be issued a formal mortgage offer.
We recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle prior to property viewings in Manchester, in order to avoid potential disappointment. At the very latest we would suggest that you obtain one before you make any offers, to put you in a better bargaining position. As a dedicated Mortgage Broker in Manchester, we are typically able to obtain an agreement in principle within 24 hours.
Generally speaking, an Agreement in Principle will last for between 30 and 90 days, depending on the lender that is used. If your Agreement in Principle expires before you can make use of it, it can be easily refreshed by speaking to your advisor.
If you’re looking to achieve something like debt consolidation or home improvements, you may be able to place a second mortgage on your home. If you’re looking to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a Buy to Let, a second mortgage on that property may also be an option.
A high street lender will typically require you to put down at least 5% of the property purchase price for your deposit. If you have had credit problems in the past, this may be higher.
If you have struggled with credit problems in the past, you may still be eligible for a mortgage, though a lender may possibly require you to put down a higher deposit than expected. This can be something like 15% of the property purchase price.
Submitting at least one year’s accounts moves you along the process, allowing for you to potentially obtain a mortgage in Manchester. Most lenders will utilise your salary plus dividend to calculate the maximum mortgage amount you are eligible to borrow, whereas some other lenders will go off your net profit.
In order for an employee to prove their income, it’s usually 3 payslips and the last 2 years’ accounts if you are self-employed. You will also need to provide some proof of ID, address and the last 3 months’ bank statements.
The free initial mortgage consultation that we offer generally lasts up to around 30 mins. We are then able to turn around an agreement in principle within 24 hours of that appointment. A formal mortgage offer takes, on average, somewhere around three weeks.
