Frequently Asked Questions

How does Aura Mortgages calculate how much I can borrow?

Unlike a residential mortgage, BTL lending is primarily based on the rental income the property generates. Most lenders require the rent to cover 125% to 145% of the mortgage payment (known as Interest Cover Ratio). We analyze the local rental yields in Grimsby and Southend to ensure your chosen property meets these "stress tests" before you commit.

Should I buy in my own name or as a Limited Company?

This is one of the most common questions we receive. Holding property in a Limited Company (SPV) can offer significant tax advantages for higher-rate taxpayers, though mortgage rates can be slightly higher. At Aura Mortgages, we work alongside your tax adviser to find the most cost-effective mortgage structure for your specific investment strategy and long-term goals.

What is the minimum deposit for a Buy to Let?

Generally, you will need a 25% deposit to access the most competitive BTL rates, though some lenders accept 20%. We also help existing landlords in Lincolnshire and Essex use the equity in their current portfolio to fund new deposits, allowing you to grow your rental business without needing to find a large cash sum upfront.
