Are you ready to move to a new home but don’t want to sell your current property? Let to Buy could be the ideal solution. At Rosa Mortgages, we specialise in helping homeowners unlock the value of their current home by letting it out and using the rental income to help fund their next property purchase.

Let to Buy mortgages are becoming increasingly popular for people who want flexibility, a potential second income, and a smoother move to their next home.

What is a Let to Buy Mortgage?

Let to Buy mortgages allow you to rent out your current home while buying a new one to live in. It involves switching your current residential mortgage to a Let to Buy mortgage and simultaneously applying for a new residential mortgage for your new property.

Let to Buy vs. Buy to Let – What’s the Difference?

  • Let to Buy Mortgages: You already own a property you’ve been living in but now want to rent it out and buy a new residential home for yourself.
  • Buy to Let Mortgages: You’re buying a property solely for rental purposes without the need to move out of your existing home.

Let to Buy is ideal for those upsizing, moving to a new location for work, or keeping their existing home as an investment.
