Buy to Let FAQs

What is the buy to let conveyancing process?

Buy to let conveyancing is the legal process involved when purchasing a property specifically to rent out to tenants. While similar to standard residential conveyancing, it also includes checks and requirements unique to rental properties, such as ensuring the mortgage allows for letting and that the property complies with relevant landlord regulations. 

This process helps ensure you’re legally protected as a landlord and that everything is in place for a smooth tenancy.

Once you’ve got the right mortgage, our buy to let solicitors will double-check that you are able to rent out the property and have the correct permissions. The buy to let conveyancing process itself doesn’t differ too much from regular property purchases. 

Our property conveyancing experts can help you follow the correct steps when buying a property. We’ll also be there for you to help with any legal documents you need to draft, such as tenancy agreements.

What mortgage should I get for a buy to let property?

Generally, mortgage agreements state that letting the property is strictly prohibited; or they will state that in order to do so, the mortgage lender must grant full permission. For that reason, people investing in buy-to-let properties should aim for a buy to let mortgage.

While the interest rate might be higher, getting a regular mortgage for a buy to let property runs the risk of the mortgage lender taking action against you, or demanding the immediate repayment of the mortgage.

Buy to let can be hit or miss. With a little help from Talbots Law, your investment should be a success. Once the transaction is complete, we’ll stick around to guide you through the ups and downs of being a landlord. Just give our buy to let solicitors a call on 0800 118 1500.
