Let-to-buy is when you rent out your existing home and buy a new one to live in. Essentially, it involves having two mortgages at the same time. You convert your existing mortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage so you can let out your current home, and then take out a standard residential mortgage on the home you’re buying.
There are various considerations and complications with let-to-buy, including the costs and challenges of becoming a landlord and the need to manage two mortgages.
Representative Example: If you borrow £15,000 over 10 years. Initially, on a fixed rate for 5 years at 5.10% and for the remaining 5 years on the lender’s standard variable rate of 5.05%, you would make 60 monthly payments of £184.29 and 60 monthly payments of £185.99. The total amount of credit is £17495; the total repayable would be £22,216.80 (this includes a Lender fee of £995 and a broker fee of £1,500). The overall cost for comparison is 8.8% APRC representative.
Rates between 3.4% to 29.% APRC. Repayment terms between 3 and 30 years.
As a mortgage is secured against your home, it could be repossessed if you do not keep up the mortgage repayments.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home
If you are thinking of consolidating existing borrowing you should be aware that you may be extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.
