A let to buy purchase and mortgage is where you rent out a home you are living in, in order to buy a new home for yourself. In order to achieve this, you will be remortgaging from a residential mortgage, which you will currently have, in order to switch onto a let to buy mortgage.
In addition to this, you will be taking out a new mortgage on the home that you are moving to. Both mortgages will occur consecutively, as you need the released funds from your remortgage on the first property, in order to put down a deposit on the new property.
This doesn’t mean using the same mortgage lender, you just have a mortgage that relies on another being completed, so you can speak to a mortgage broker in Hull to find out more.
In order to obtain a let to buy mortgage in Hull, you will have to meet the appropriate criteria. Your mortgage advisor in Hull will take a look at your case during your free mortgage appointment, in order to make sure that this is right for you.
The qualifying criteria for this type of mortgage includes, meeting affordability requirements for your new home, having at least a 10% for your new home, as well as a 25% deposit to put down on your buy to let (this can be equity released during your remortgage).
You will also need to make sure that your rental income can cover 125% of the payments you have for your new buy to let mortgage. A good credit score is advisable, though it may be possible to obtain a let to buy mortgage with bad credit.

As you may be able to guess from the similar sounding names, a let to buy mortgage is in fact a type of buy to let mortgage.
A buy to let in Hull entails taking out a mortgage on a property, purely for the purpose of letting (renting) out a property, in order to generate additional income.
The difference with a let to buy mortgage in Hull, is that it will usually come about with “accidental” landlords. This is where perhaps you don’t initially plan to become a landlord, later changing your mind.
Instead of the stress of selling your home and buying a new buy to let, often homeowners will opt to rent out that home, using the income generated to pay off their new residential mortgage.
You should always be wary with costs when applying for a mortgage, and this is no different for a let to buy mortgage in Hull. Stamp Duty doesn’t apply to everyone, so it is always important to look at this ahead of time.
As a trusted mortgage broker in Hull, one of our dedicated mortgage advisors will inform you of all the costs involved in your process, including Stamp Duty, during your free initial mortgage appointment.
Due to the nature of this type of mortgage being linked to a residential and buy to let aspect of owning a property, you can often be met with stricter criteria for a let to buy mortgage in Hull.

A let to buy mortgage in Hull, as discussed above, generally occurs when the owner of a residential property wishes to remortgage their home, switching it into a buy to let mortgage, as well as buying a new home for them to live in.
Rather than looking to sell your home and having to potentially deal with a property chain prior to moving into your new home, a let to buy mortgage in Hull can reduce a lot of the stresses and pressure from your process, and allows you to generate some income in the process.
Whilst there are upsides, there are also downsides, and it’s important to be wary of each. As providers of expert mortgage advice in Hull, we have a great knowledge on instances like these, and have collated a list of the pros and cons to a let to buy mortgage in Hull, below.
So first off, let’s take a look at the positives. As said, rather than go through all the trials and tribulations included in attempting to sell your current home and then find somewhere else to live, it can create a less stressful environment for you.
On top of that, it is another vehicle for you to earn enough income to pay for its own mortgage, plus additional profit for yourself to enjoy.
The downsides to this, is that being responsible for two properties, especially when one of those includes anywhere from one person to a whole family that you will become responsible for (to some degree), in itself can be a stressful endeavour. It’s not for everyone.
Whilst you will have that extra income, a let to buy mortgage in Hull may have higher interest rates than you would have for a residential mortgage in Hull and there are fewer mortgage lenders who offer let to buy mortgage deals (though there are plenty who may still be able to help).
That being said, whilst they will be higher than residential mortgage rates, a let to buy mortgage in Hull may have much more competitive interest rates and fees than a buy to let mortgage in Hull would, which could work in your favour.
You’ll also have to think about property value. If the value of both your properties goes up, you could increase your gains and potentially be in for some good profit if you look to sell in the future. Conversely, if the value drops of each, this could leave you with losses.
There are plenty of ups and downs to taking out a let to buy mortgage in Hull, but it all depends on how you personally weigh those up. It may be worthwhile and yet you may also be thinking of different options instead.
There are other options available to you if a let to buy mortgage in Hull isn’t quite for you. For example, you may benefit from moving into temporary or rental accommodation, in order to take out a regular buy to let mortgage in Hull.
This can be quite costly, however, and you may not meet the lenders buy to let mortgage criteria.
You may also be able to partake in consent to let, wherein a mortgage lender will grant you a length of time in which you can rent out your residential property, whilst you move into your new home first.
Although this sounds like it may be easier, this will depend on your mortgage lender and obtaining a mortgage on a new home may be more difficult whilst having a consent to let in place.
Finally, an alternative may simply be selling your current home and moving into rental accommodation for a while, until you are ready to purchase again.
It can be hard to break out of the rental cycle, though it may put you in a better position for your next mortgage, due to the fact you’ll have no property chain of your own to worry about.
