Investment Mortgages

Build a Portfolio with Mortgages

Use buy-to-let investment mortgages to build an investment portfolio of many properties over a period of time. Buying each property cash first and then re-mortgaging 6 months or more later, to release 75% of the value, is better than using upfront mortgages. It is easier, quicker, cheaper and more likely to be successful for all the reasons listed below. We no longer sell with up-front mortgages as these take a long time to process and success rates are lower. The alternative to mortgages is to use our DIY2 deals to build a portfolio. In-fact, after all considerations these work out better than mortgages. Please see the video on the DIY2 page.

INTEREST RATES – Interest Rates are now higher and rising further. Buying Cash first, keeps your options open and allows you to re-mortgage later, if you wish, once rates are stable and long-term costs are known.

JANUARY 2023 – We no longer do mortgages

High interest rates and fees in relation to low cost houses mean they are no longer good value for money.  Please consider our DIY2 deals instead which are overall better when you take everything into account.

General Facts About Mortgages

Please watch this video for general information about mortgages. Also watch the main property video at top of the home page of our website. This mortgage video mentions upfront mortgages but we now use a process whereby clients buy cash first and then re-mortgage 6 months later.  Please see below.

How to build a portfolio

  1. Buy any Property CASH (e.g. Type H3 at £76,999)
  2. Start getting rental income immediately (£4,620 for H3)
  3. Wait at least 6 months (mortgage rules)
  4. Use our Re-mortgage package below to release about 75% of value (e.g. £57,000)
  5. Add £23,000+ (from rent and own savings) and buy another property Cash.
  6. Then Repeat
Re-Mortgage Offer

If the re-mortgage is used to buy another property from us, then the re-mortgage costs of £3,000 are credited – so the re-mortgage process costs you nothing. See more details on our re-mortgage package for existing clients.

Extra Property Every 1 to 2 Years?

On average, depending on how much they save each year, and the type of properties they buy, many investors can acquire an extra property each year. Thus ending up with 10 houses in 10 years. All acquired passively with guaranteed long-term income, no costs, and no repairs or tenant issues. If the properties acquired are larger, then the funds at each step are larger than example above.

Larger Properties Better

Whilst re-mortgages are available for all of our properties, the larger properties in the range are easier to mortgage. This is because some lenders state properties must be more than £75,000 value. Buying larger properties, H3 or above, gives you access to all the lenders.

Cash needed for each additional property

This table opposite shows the minimum amount of savings you will need for each extra property purchase (assuming you are buying the same type of property as you have re-mortgaged). Of course you can mix and match property types and it is good to have a diversified portfolio. We can work individual forecasts for you at time of your purchase.

Upfront Mortgages

We no longer offer upfront mortgages as these mortgages take a long time to process (4 times longer than cash sales) and we cannot hold properties for such long periods as demand from cash buyers is higher than supply. If you do not have at least around £70,000 in cash to buy the first property, unfortunately you cannot use our mortgage system.

Why its better to buy first and then re-mortgage:-
  • You can get a better mortgage deal with lower interest rate and higher loan due to access to wider range of lenders
  • Mortgage is more likely to be successful – Criteria are less strict
  • You have access to wider range of properties – re-mortgages are possible even on lower cost properties.
  • Cash sales are twice as quick – You become owner within 2 month of reservation, whereas with mortgage sales it can take over 4 months
  • If you use our Re-mortgage package and later use the released funds to buy another property from us, then the re-mortgage costs are FREE.  So overall this method ends up being cheaper.
