BUDGET WATCH

Landlords: now is the time to review your numbers.

Today’s Budget adds another two percentage points to the planned tax rise on property income. Together with last year’s announcement, that means a four-percentage-point increase from April 2027, with rates of 24%, 44% and 49% in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

If you own rental property personally, this could put more pressure on your returns. So, what should you do now?

➡️ Ask your accountant how the changes will affect your tax bill
➡️ Review your rental income, running costs and cash reserves
➡️ Check when your mortgage deal ends and what your next payments could look like

At The Mortgage Expert, we can review your buy-to-let borrowing and compare suitable mortgage options, taking account of rates, fees and any early repayment charges.

If your fixed rate ends within the next six months, get in touch. Planning ahead gives you time to understand your options and make an informed decision.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

Most people searching "How long does a mortgage offer last?" aren't actually looking for lender timelines.

They are searching because they are worried that their house purchase is taking longer than expected. They’re trying not to panic, wondering whether their mortgage offer will expire before completion.

If you're buying a property or currently stuck in a slow-moving chain, this is worth a read.

Many buyers assume their solicitor, estate agent or lender will automatically tell them if their mortgage offer is about to expire. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, so you need to know exactly how long your mortgage offer is valid for.

You need to know the specific date that matters to you, not the industry average.

Knowing how long your mortgage offer lasts could save you from delays, extra costs, or even having to apply for a new mortgage.

Did you know that most mortgage offers only remain valid for 3 to 6 months?

That might sound like plenty of time, but if you have a slow solicitor, a complicated property chain or an unexpected delay, your completion date could be pushed back. Before you know it, you’re panicking that your mortgage offer will expire before you move in.

So, what do you do? Well, you should start by reading our latest article.

We’ll answer the questions you want to ask, including:

✔️Who should be monitoring the expiry date?
✔️When to ask for an extension?
✔️Who to contact if you're running out of time?
✔️What happens if your mortgage offer expires before completion

💭 Still renting and wondering if buying is even possible?

Here’s something many people don’t realise…

Your rent payments could actually help you get a mortgage.

Lenders are increasingly looking at your rental history as proof you can afford monthly repayments and some even offer low-deposit options based on this.

So if you’ve been paying rent consistently, you may already be closer than you think.

It’s not just about saving, it’s about knowing how lenders see your situation.
