Buy to Let

Buy-to-Let is a joint initiative by the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), and various mortgage lenders.

The scheme is designed to help private individuals to invest in property to let without being penalised by mortgage surcharges or paying commercial rates of interest. Mortgage lenders in the Buy-to Let scheme will take account of rental income likely to be achieved from a property.
