FAQ

Quick answers.

How much rental income will the lender count?

It varies. Some lenders count 70% of gross rental income, others 80% or more. This significantly affects your borrowing capacity, so we compare lenders on this point.

Should I choose interest-only or principal-and-interest?

It depends on your strategy. Interest-only gives you better cash flow but you don't reduce the loan balance. Principal-and-interest builds equity but costs more monthly. We model both so you can decide.

Can I get an investment loan if I'm self-employed?

Yes. We work with lenders who assess self-employed income using tax returns and accountant declarations rather than standard payslips.

What is cross-collateralisation and should I avoid it?

Cross-collateralisation means using one property as security for multiple loans. It can create problems when you want to sell or restructure. We generally recommend keeping properties separate unless there's a clear reason not to.
