What is a Buy to Let Secured Loan?

A buy to let secured loan allows landlords to borrow money using the equity that’s in their buy to let property, or portfolio of properties.

Buy to let secured loans are a useful source of borrowing for many landlords, as they can be used for a variety of different reasons.

Whether you wish to renovate and make home improvements to your current properties, raise funds to invest in another buy to let property or even consolidate your debts, we can help find a loan suitable for your needs.

It is important to note that the property that the loan is secured against acts as a form of security for the lender. This means that if you were unable to keep up with the monthly repayments, the lender could seize repossession of the property. 

Why choose a buy to let secured loan?

  • • Are on a fixed mortgage rate – you may be tied into a preferential mortgage rate with your current mortgage lender. A secured loan provides you with an alternative borrowing solution that doesn’t affect your existing mortgage.
  • • Are looking to maintain their existing mortgage rate – if for some reason your credit rating isn’t as good as it was once, it could mean that a secured loan on a buy to let property would be a better alternative to re-mortgaging your property with a potentially higher interest rate.
  • • Are looking to borrow more - usually, applicants are allowed to borrow a larger sum of money with a secured loan, in comparison to other forms of lending such as an unsecured loan. It can also be easier to obtain for those with poor credit files. This is because the property that is secured to the loan reduces the financial risk for lenders.

How much could I borrow using a buy to let secured loan?

The amount you can borrow relies on the available equity that’s in your property. Equity is the portion of your home that you own outright free from any mortgage.

At Mercantile Trust you can borrow as little as £10,000, up to a maximum of £500,000, with repayment terms from 3 to 25 years. It’s easy to apply, simply fill out our application form, or call the number at the top of this page.

Whilst a secured loan on a buy to let property can give landlords the funds they require, it is important to note that mortgage offers are dependent on various factors.  Lenders will look at an applicant’s personal circumstances, such as their income, credit history and outgoings.
