Buy-to-let mortgage payments by loan size

By RentTaxCheck Editorial TeamUpdated Checked against GOV.UK

Choose a loan amount for payment tables and the rent lenders usually need.

Buy-to-let lenders decide how much to lend mainly from the rent, using a stress test: the rent usually needs to cover 125% (basic-rate taxpayers and companies) or 145% (higher-rate taxpayers) of the interest at a stressed rate of about 5% to 5.5%. Each page below shows the monthly payment at rates from 4% to 7%, the rent you'd need, and the property price a 25% deposit would buy.
