How we help with limited-company buy-to-let

Finding the right funding is about more than comparing rates. Property type, rental or trading income, experience, valuation and ownership structure can all change the outcome.

01

Understand your position

We review your goals, income, commitments, deposit or equity and timescale.

02

Compare suitable options

We assess lender criteria, overall cost and suitability, not only the initial rate.

03

Manage the application

Your adviser and case manager keep the lender, valuation and legal process moving.

SPV structure

Check the company's activities, SIC codes, ownership and directors against lender criteria.

Rental coverage

Assess whether expected rent meets the lender's interest-coverage calculation.

Director guarantees

Understand the personal guarantees and credit checks commonly required from directors.

Specialist lending for an SPV property company FAQs

Is limited-company buy-to-let always more tax efficient?

No. Tax outcomes depend on personal circumstances and should be discussed with a qualified tax adviser before deciding.

Can a new SPV obtain a mortgage?

Many specialist lenders accept newly incorporated SPVs, while assessing the directors and shareholders behind them.

Can I move an existing property into a company?

This is normally treated as a sale and purchase and may trigger tax, legal and refinancing consequences. Take tax and legal advice first.

Specialist knowledge that can make the difference

Our team regularly works with SPVs, limited companies and portfolio growth. If a lender or another broker has already said no, that does not always mean there is no route forward. We can review your circumstances and whether a different lender or structure may be appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow?

It depends on the property, income or rent, deposit or equity, experience, credit profile and lender policy. We provide a case-specific assessment.

Does an initial conversation affect my credit score?

No. An initial discussion with our team does not involve a lender credit search.

Can you help throughout the UK?
