The Mortgage Works offers a 80% buy to let mortgage product – but is it any good?
The Mortgage Works (TMW) are one of the main UK buy to let lenders in the UK and have had an 80% buy to let mortgage product out in the market for some time.
Their product is only available to professional landlords which means you must have got the least one buy to let property and can prove the rental income for over six months. They also insist that you need to be owner occupier which means you need to be living at your current residential home.
Unlike some buy to let 80% products it is available for remortgages as well as purchases.
The 80% buy to let product is limited to a maximum mortgage amount of £350,000. The loan to value (LTV) then drops significantly to 65% for loans £350,001 upwards, which means a deposit or equity of 35%.
