Mortgage information
A Limited Company mortgage, or a 'Special Purpose Vehicle mortgage' allows borrowers to purchase a Buy-To-Let property through a limited company which is set up for the sole purpose of property investment. This allows investors to take out a mortgage through the company name rather than their own name.
Skipton International provides limited company mortgages to UK expat and non-UK residents, securing on properties located in England and Wales. Unfortunately, we do not at this time support properties in the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the islands of Scotland.
Check your property rental yield is sufficient to support a mortgage. Skipton has a handy UK Buy-To-Let Mortgage Calculator to estimate the size of an offshore mortgage that might be available to you.
Basic criteria is detailed below but for more information, see our guide and speak to one of our experienced Mortgage Sales team on +44 (0)1481 734 000 or email us on buytolet@skiptoninternational.com.

Interest rates
Interest is calculated on a daily basis and monthly payments must be made in arrears by direct debit on the first working day of each month. As with all mortgages, if repaid after the end of the period, interest to the date of redemption will be payable.
Following the fixed period interest will revert to the Skipton International UK Buy-To-Let follow on rate (currently 7.49%). This mortgage is portable and can be applied to a new property (subject to it meeting Skipton's criteria). We may offer retention rates which will be subject to market conditions at the time.
No early repayment charges following the end of the fixed period.

Product Fees
Product fees are non-refundable and must be paid on application.
On this fixed rate mortgage, lump sum payments of up to 10% may* be made early without charge each year. For the purposes of this calculation, a year is defined as starting on the commencement of the loan and on the anniversary thereafter; the amount is up to 10% of the balance outstanding on that date. This facility cannot be rolled over into subsequent years if the facility is not used in any one year.
