Buy to let mortgage tax rule changes
From 2017, landlords can no longer deduct the finance expenses from their buy to let properties when calculating their profit from the financial year. As a result, landlords’ tax bills are likely to increase. However, limited companies’ tax bills will likely be unaffected because the new rules are not applicable to them.
This has led to more private landlords looking to set up limited companies. Before setting up a limited company, landlords should consider the associated costs.
A way to counter the effect of the new tax rules may be to remortgage a property to invest in another buy to let.
Regulation changes
From 2017, further changes to how buy to let mortgages are regulated will be implemented that will make it harder for those looking to remortgage their properties.
A stricter income stress test will be implemented by lenders. To pass lenders’ stress test, landlords will now have to illustrate that they can make mortgage repayments even in the event that the interest rate increases to 5.5%.
A higher rental coverage ratio will be required by lenders. Landlords will not be able to remortgage their property unless they have a rental coverage ratio of 145% for a standard buy to let property and 170% for a house in multiple occupation.
A review of the entire portfolio will be completed by lenders prior to remortgaging a property. Lenders will require landlords’ properties to be profitable in order to agree to remortgage their property. Therefore, if a landlord has one or more properties that are not profitable, then a lender may reject a landlord’s application.
