Anyone been looking at BTL mortgages recently? Looks like a good set of offers, including a pretty good Offset from First Direct, 3.19%+base, £499 fee.

If you don't you could put your mortgage on that and use the cash on the BTL. You can claim tax relief on the interest as I did that in the past.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Already doing that for one property. The interest on my mortgage is 0.98%. I've got one done in Trowbridge with a building plot. I've got the money to build the new house as well, but was doing some calculations on what to do with the equity that would be tied up in them (ie. remortgage, buy some more BTLS). The numbers stacked up brilliantly with the original offset mortgage(but it's not a BTL), with the best BTL mortgage on the market the numbers aren't stacking up. Need a 7%+ return for it to make sense. 10% would be the best.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

No, Martin, a BTL loan is not a "product", it's a massive debt hanging over your head that you have to pay off eventually, somehowOriginally posted by Martin@AS Financial View PostThere are some good BTL products about presently available.
Hard Brexit now!

Of course it's a product just as a derivative or a bond is a product. If you find the idea of a loan product hard to understand, I wouldn't be surprised though.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Scary to think someone who can't understand a loan is supposedly involved in complicated statistical analysis.
