Osoderi: Disclaimer first, I’m just speaking from acquired knowledge. Correct me if I’m wrong. Yes, you can buy a house. Mortgage end age is 65-80. Most lenders cap at 70-75, so you’ll have about 25years to pay back which is good. Lenders will give you around 4.5 of your annual salary, your expected mortgage is dependent on if your £1,600 is before or after tax… so you can just do the calculations yourself. You don’t need to use the full £20k on deposit, your deposit will probably be £10k… you can use the remaining £10k on renovations and upgrades as you’ll most likely buy a “not-so-new” house. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

HollyMadison: The top age for residential mortgages is retirement age whatever that is at the time of application. Top age for BTL mortgages is as old as one can get as the rent will always cover the mortgage and can be sold off to pay the mortgage (expected repayment vehicle). Otherwise, all correct. I always advise first home buyers to put down the smallest deposit allowable on what you want to buy. That is most likely the only time, you'll be able to do that! So maximise the utilisation of the cash you have 7 Likes 2 Shares |

omopapa: I have attached the price history of my buy to let property. I'm the second owner. The first owner bought the flat brand new and I guess the property was overpriced/over valued as at 2007. New builds are notoriously overpriced, hence why those looking to achieve the best returns in property investment avoid them. Today, that same flat and others in the block have an open market value of at least 160k and those that have sold their flats recently achieved way above that figure. I haven't spent a penny on any home improvement apart from painting the walls when a new tenant moves in (I'm blessed to have had 2 longterm tenants in the last 6+years) and changing the original carpets which were off white in colour. My advice - do your research carefully, read the home/valuation report, read about the history of the area, find out if the area is notorious for crime (anti social behavior, vandalism,etc) and find out if the council is planning any redevelopment or rejuvenation around the area (e.g. demolishing houses in that area to build modern properties,etc) 6 Likes |
