How to get a buy to let mortgage for your buy to let property?
Lots of people might consider becoming a landlord. They might want to use their rental property just to cover the mortgage payments. Equally, they might want to increase their rental income with an additional rental property to add to their portfolio. Whatever the reason, Jordan Fishwick can help you through the process – from finding the right buy to let mortgage to identifying the perfect rental property for you.
The Jordan Fishwick Buy to Let Mortgage Process Guide:
Step 1
Research & Planning
The first thing you should do when thinking about becoming a landlord is to research as much as possible about the buy to let market, buy to let mortgages, property prices, areas for investment and more. You want to be fully prepared heading into a potential investment property before investing your money.
Set yourself a budget and your financial goals for the property you may be investing in. Things to consider with a buy to let property would be location, property type, such as house or flat, target tenant demographic, and your potential rental income.
Step 2
Finances
The next step would be to explore the buy to let mortgage options. When compared to typical residential mortgages, buy to let mortgages tend to have a higher interest rate and require larger deposits. Confer with a mortgage advisor and determine what sort of mortgage repayments you might be able to afford. Buy to let mortgages are generally based on the potential rental yield of the property.
Step 3
Property Search & Purchase
The next step in getting a buy to let property is to find the property! Take a look through an estate agency’s portfolio of properties. Another way to find your ideal property is to work with an estate agent to identify possible properties that fit within your budget.
As soon as you’ve found the right property for you, it’s time to do your due diligence, including inspections, valuations, surveys, and legal checks. Then, you can put in an offer on the property, go through negotiations on the purchase price and terms with the seller’s agent. Once an offer is accepted, you’ll go through conveyancing with a conveyancing solicitor to handle all of the legalities of the purchase and arrange the completion of the sale.
Step 4
Mortgage Approval
The next step in this process is to finalise a buy to let mortgage. Speak to our Independent Financial Advisors to help with this step as the costs involved in financing a buy to let mortgage doesn’t just include the mortgage interest and repayments, you’ll also likely have to pay extra fees, that can range wildly.
Your mortgage term will be determined at this time by your mortgage lender, as well as the monthly payments for repaying. You’ll also have to ensure the necessary funds for the deposit, closing costs, and other expenses have been arranged prior to the handover.
Buy to let mortgages can be a bit tricky to understand, but our independent financial advisors are here to explain buy to let mortgages.
Step 5
Property Management & Lettings
Once the handover has happened, it’s time to prepare the property for tenants by ensuring that the property meets the regulations for health and safety. As well as obtaining any relevant gas and electrical safety certificates and generally ensuring the property is ready to be lived in. Once your property is ready for tenants, it’s time to get it valued to determine the property’s rental income, market the property, and find tenants to occupy the residence.
The easiest way to get tenants is to work with an estate agent, while there will be letting agent fees, it can take a lot of the leg work off of your plate. Check out our full guide on the letting process.

I dealt with Jordan & Fishwick New Mills and Disley offices and they were exceptional people to deal with. They took all the stress out of an extremely stressful situation for me. Elizabeth and Paul were both so professional, and every other person on their team with whom I spoke was always so helpful and cheerful. Nothing was too much trouble. The house sold within days of going on the market, but, as Jordan Fishwick say – their work starts AFTER that! I had help and guidance with all sorts of issues and Elizabeth always had listening ear, as well as a solution. I had already received glowing reports from both my son and daughter, whose respective house sales/purchase had also been handled by this amazing estate agency, so Jordan Fishwick can’t come more highly recommended.
You engage an estate agent, but you gain a friend. Thank you all so very much.

Beth has been amazing in securing a rental property for myself. Beth was extremely professional and efficient, ensuring I was able to secure the rental that was being advertised.
Jordan Fishwick should be proud to have Beth as part of their team, as she is an asset to the company. Thank you again 🙂

After my house was on the market for three months, I spoke to the Jordan Fishwick team for an evaluation. Following their assessment I decided to move to them. The communications are efficient, timely and effective. They arranged viewers quickly and generated a high level of interest. When the original offer fell through, which was out of their control, they quickly re-marketed the house and generated interest. Once a new buyer was in place, the team ensures the whole process ran smoothly.
I’d highly recommend the team and Scott, my point of contract. Friendly, effective and accountable.
