Buy to Let Mortgages in South Wales
Whether you're purchasing your first investment property or growing a portfolio, we have access to specialist BTL lenders with competitive rates tailored to landlords.
Buy to Let Mortgage Advice for Landlords
Buy-to-let mortgages work differently from residential mortgages. Lenders assess affordability primarily on the expected rental income rather than your personal salary, and they typically require a larger deposit — usually 25% minimum.
We work with specialist BTL lenders who understand the landlord market and offer competitive rates for all types of investment property. Whether you're buying a standard rental, an HMO, or a property for short-term lets, we'll find the right finance.
Our advisers also help with the tax implications of property investment, including the benefits of purchasing through a limited company structure, which many landlords now prefer for tax efficiency.
Portfolio Landlord Mortgages
If you own four or more mortgaged rental properties, you're classified as a portfolio landlord. This means lenders apply additional underwriting criteria, looking at the performance of your entire portfolio rather than just the individual property.
Not all lenders accept portfolio landlords, which is why specialist advice is essential. We work with lenders who welcome portfolio applications and understand the needs of experienced investors.
We can also help with refinancing existing portfolio properties to release equity for further purchases, optimising your borrowing structure to maximise returns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much deposit do I need for a buy to let mortgage?
Most BTL lenders require a minimum 25% deposit. Some specialist lenders may accept 20%, but the best rates are typically available at 25% or more.
Should I buy through a limited company?
Buying through a limited company (SPV) can be more tax-efficient, especially for higher-rate taxpayers. We'll discuss the pros and cons based on your personal tax situation.
Can I get a buy to let mortgage if I don't own my own home?
Some lenders offer buy-to-let mortgages to non-homeowners, though options are more limited. We can advise on the best approach for your situation.
How is rental yield calculated?
Rental yield is your annual rental income divided by the property value, expressed as a percentage. Most lenders require a minimum rental yield of 125-145% of the mortgage payment.
