With an interest only buy to let mortgage deal, you only pay off the interest payments to the mortgage lender on a monthly basis. By doing this the monthly cost of borrowing is greatly reduced, as you are only making repayments on your interest owed, not on the mortgage loan itself.
However, if you are considering an interest only mortgage for a rental property, it is essential to have a repayment strategy in place to ensure that you can pay off the mortgage capital when the term of the buy to let mortgage ends.
Interest only buy to let mortgages are popular among landlords, especially since the 2017 changes to the tax rules. From 2017, landlords can no longer deduct their entire expenses derived from their buy to let properties when calculating their profits. Securing an interest only mortgage may be a way of counter acting the effect of the 2017 tax rules.
Benefits of an interest only buy to let mortgage
There are several reasons why you might consider an interest only buy to let mortgage, some of which include:
-
Lower repayments - The prospect of lower monthly payments, especially if you are unsure how much rent you will be charging, could be an appealing option and could make a buy to let mortgage more affordable in the short term.
-
Potential extra cash - If your repayment vehicle does really well over the term of the buy to let mortgage, you could find that you can afford to pay off the capital with some extra cash left over.
Drawbacks of an interest only buy to let mortgage
While the monthly repayments you make on an interest only buy to let mortgage are likely to be lower than with a repayment mortgage, there are some potential disadvantages to be aware of:
-
Lack of security – unlike a repayment buy to let mortgage, you have no guarantee that you will be able to pay off the mortgage balance at the end of the term
-
The need for a bigger deposit – many lenders require a proportionally larger deposit for interest only mortgages
