Despite Brexit buy to let mortgage rates remain low.
A lot has happened in the buy to let sector over the last few months.
First investors were hit with news that mortgage tax relief was to be phased out, then there was news of a stamp duty increase on second properties, which was quickly followed by the introduction of increased mortgage regulation.
Now with the surprise EU leave vote there is increased concern over rising rates, which could impact the profitability of rental investments.
The fallout from Brexit is yet to be felt. But at present mortgage rates aren’t increasing. Indeed, several lenders such as Santander, Nottingham BS, Nationwide and Aldermore have all cut their rates to attract investors.
In addition, now is also looking a good time to consider investing, as house prices are beginning to fall.
