๐ฅ More niche lending options for Limited Company landlords ๐ฅ
Not every buy-to-let mortgage fits the โstandardโ box โ but the good news is, some lenders are catering for more complex setups ๐
Here are 3 more specialist criteria currently available, all with 1 lender!
โจ Minority shareholders accepted
You can have someone hold up to a 20% share in the Limited Company thatโs buying the property, without them needing to be on the mortgage or go through credit checks.
๐ก For example: you might bring in a friend or family member as a small investor in your company, without them needing to be involved in the mortgage application
๐ก Company buying a directorโs current home
Your Limited Company can purchase a property you or any other shareholder currently live in and convert it into a buy-to-let.
๐ฐ Intercompany loans for deposits
Using funds from another company as your deposit can be acceptable โ even if that company is owned by a single director/shareholder.
๐ก For example: you might have a trading business youโve run for 20 years (e.g. a building company) where your main income sits. That company could provide the deposit to your property Limited Company, also known as the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)
Subject to full mortgage application.
