How btl mortgages works for you

The buy-to-let market has professionalised, and so has its lending. Limited company structures, HMO licensing, portfolio stress tests and holiday-let rules mean the right mortgage now depends as much on how you hold property as on the property itself.

We arrange buy-to-let mortgages for individuals and SPV limited companies, across standard lets, HMOs, multi-unit freehold blocks, holiday lets and short-term lets. For portfolio landlords, we manage the whole-portfolio picture lenders now demand — and use it to negotiate better terms across your borrowing, not just on the next purchase.

Expat and offshore investors are a particular strength: we work with lenders genuinely comfortable with overseas income, non-UK residency and international company structures.

The Ark Funding difference

Why place it through us

Rental stress tests kill more applications than credit history does. We know which lenders apply which calculations — top-slicing with personal income, five-year fixed easements, specialist HMO valuations — and we use that to make marginal deals work at sensible leverage.

Every case begins with a conversation, not a form. Call 0800 6120759 or send us the outline and we'll respond within one working day.

Good to know

BTL Mortgages: frequently asked questions

Should I buy through a limited company?

For higher-rate taxpayers building a portfolio, a limited company (SPV) often works out more tax-efficient because mortgage interest remains fully deductible — but rates can be slightly higher and there are running costs. We'll arrange the lending either way; the structure itself is a decision for you and your accountant.

How much rent do I need for the mortgage to work?

Most lenders want rent to cover roughly 125–145% of a stressed interest payment. If the sums are tight, options include five-year fixed rates (tested more gently), lenders that top-slice with your other income, or adjusting the loan size — we'll show you exactly where the deal works.

Can I get a UK buy-to-let mortgage while living abroad?

Yes. A meaningful group of lenders serve expats and non-UK residents, including those paid in foreign currency or holding property through offshore companies. Expect slightly deeper documentation requirements — we'll manage that process end to end.
