Poor credit Buy to Let loans – up to 80% LTV

Poor credit Buy to Let loans – up to 80% LTV

This poor credit loan is for both, buy to let and residential borrowers. Loans are available on a second charge basis, which gives borrowers an option for credit repair or capital raising, without losing the existing deal on their current mortgage.

Many property investors, and sometimes their brokers, overlook second charges as a potential solution. There are a number of secured loans for BTL investors, offering prime rates and some great features, such as flexible overdrafts.

This article deals mainly with Buy to Let loans, where the borrower has a poor credit history. There is a range of options available, accepting varying degrees of poor credit including mortgage arrears, CCJ’s, defaults and IVA’s.

However, don’t assume because you have a low credit score, that you have poor credit. Some lenders don’t actually look at your credit score, so you might get lower rates. These products are aimed at those with CCJ’s, mortgage arrears, defaults – even previous bankrupts. The loan to value available and rates of interest will be determined by the level of poor credit and it’s recency. These are a sample from one lender at the time of publishing.
