Positive Property Investment specialises in helping our members buy discounted property and recirculate there capital as quickly as possible to purchase more property.

Buy-to-Let mortgages

Investment property is purchased using an interest only buy-to-let mortgage; these usually have the following criteria.

Most mortgage lenders will lend you 75% of the purchase price of the property.
This means that you would need 25% of your own cash to purchase the property.
They will lend you this maximum amount if the rent meets a certain criteria.
The normal criteria is that the rent is 25% more than your mortgage payments, however this differs between lenders.
If the rent does not meet this criteria they will lend you a smaller amount.

Most buy-to-let mortgage products are based on the rent the property will achieve, however some will also take your income into consideration.

Re-mortgage

Having already looked at the Property Facts section you will be aware that property prices in the UK double every 7-10 years.

Research shows that the average UK home is worth £200,000 and that most investors have at least £80,000 worth of equity in their home.

Most residential mortgages only require you to have a 10% deposit which means you could release £60,000 from your home to buy more property.

Transferring equity from your home to purchase more property will not only help you to build a portfolio to provide you an income in retirement but it can also help you to pay off the mortgage on your own home more quickly helping you to have a better standard of living.

Why not put your money to good use and use it to purchase more property!
