Buy to Let Equity Release



How to use the buy-to-let equity release calculator

To get an estimate of the maximum you could borrow with a buy-to-let lifetime mortgage, simply input:

  • the value of your property (which must be a minimum of £70,000 and in the UK)
  • the age of the youngest homeowner (which must be at least 55)
  • your postcode

This is the criteria that lenders use when deciding how much money you can borrow.

Unlike other types of buy-to-let mortgage, we don’t need to know your current rental income as lenders don’t consider this when deciding how much they will lend. The main requirement is that an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) is in place.

An introduction to buy-to-let life time mortgages

If you have a single buy-to-let (BTL) property or even an established property portfolio, you could use equity release as a way to raise capital funds. This could be to make improvements to your existing BTL property or to purchase a new one.

These specialist plans are designed to help landlords develop their buy-to-let (BTL) property portfolios, which could ultimately benefit their tax and retirement planning.

Rather than selling existing buy-to-let properties to raise funds for retirement, and incurring capital gains tax, landlords are increasingly using buy-to-let equity release to help mitigate their tax position.

By taking a tax-free lump sum from your buy-to-let property investment, the rental income is unaffected, and the cash could be used to invest in further properties, or for lifestyle purposes as required.
