"Buy To Let" has come into its own over the last few years in the UK with investors looking for an alternative form of investment to the stock market or as an alternative to the traditional pension schemes.

A buy to let mortgage is a loan in order to purchase a property for the explicit purpose of renting it out.

Getting a buy-to-let mortgage used to be extremely difficult. Lenders considered property investors to be high risk, and would put surcharges and high interest rates on buy-to-let mortgages to put them off. Nowadays though, there are over 40 lenders offering buy-to-let mortgages, and some of them at quite good rates.

Although buy-to-let mortgages are usually available at a rate higher than the standard variable rate, you can get discounted, fixed and capped rates too. With some schemes, you can even find flexible terms, allowing you to overpay or underpay if you need to.

Below are just some of the major lenders that we currently deal with to help provide you with the best buy to let mortgages and buy to let remortgages available in the UK.
