The maximum is 85%. The rates at this level are high and the calculations are very rigid. Most BTL mortgages are at 75% or less where the rates are very competitive and often less than residential mortgage rates in some circumstances.
Yes in theory you can. But do you really want to? If its purpose is to provide you with an income in retirement then it could be suitable but is it best advice? Most BTL mortgages are interest only and borrowers understand the debt will not decrease and will be repaid most likely from a sale of the property. With a repayment mortgage your payments will be much higher and may not leave sufficient surplus to cover voids, taxes and repairs. If rates rise unexpectedly then the payments may be higher than the rent which will put your cash flow under great stress.
Some lenders allow up to age 75 but we have specialist lenders that allow much longer and up to age 100. The minimum age is 21. Age is really a number in the BTL market.
As long as all loans and commitments are well maintained this will usually have no impact on the maximum loan but having too much debt is not a good thing and should be well managed. For BTL mortgages the rent achievable on the property decides the maximum mortgage subject to a few calculations.
Lenders are very understanding these days. As long as the entries are historic or have been cleared/dealt with lenders will look to lend albeit the rates will reflect the level of adverse history. You must monitor your credit score and learn how to keep it rising. CLICK HERE to access your credit file so we can see it.
