Being a landlord has a steep learning curve and for many, it’s not the passive income they perhaps thought it might be. However, once you find your feet as a landlord, it’s common to see it as a career like any other. While some landlords are happy to keep a watchful eye on a single property, there are others who will be keen to expand and diversify their portfolio. Unless you happen to be a millionaire looking for properties in which to grow your money further, this inevitably means searching for the right mortgages.

What percentage is considered a High LTV Buy To Let Mortgage?
The exact percentage will vary depending on who you ask. However, most will agree that 80-85% LTV ratio falls within the “high” category. Because 90-100% mortgages are no longer an option (sorry to those who miss the early ‘00s), the maximum LTV that investor-landlords can borrow is 85%.
What is the advantage of an 85% LTV mortgage?
Not all investor-landlords are able to secure an 85% high LTV mortgage. They need to be able to demonstrate experience to lenders, although in some cases 80% LTV mortgages can be granted to investors without previous landlord experience.
Because they don’t have to invest as much capital on a deposit for their property, landlords have more in the kitty to ease cash flow so that they aren’t caught out if one of their investment properties develops a plumbing leak or other fault that affects the tenant.
Investors can also choose between interest-only orcapital repayment mortgages at 85% LTV.
