Find the best buy-to-let mortgage rate

Your mortgage rate is the single biggest lever on your monthly cash flow and ROI. A fee-free buy-to-let mortgage broker searches 90+ lenders across the whole market — including exclusive rates not available direct — and handles the application for you.

This calculator provides planning estimates only and is not tax, mortgage, legal, or investment advice. Stamp duty is auto-calculated using 2025/26 additional-property rates for England and Northern Ireland — Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT) use different rates. The Section 24 tax estimate uses a simplified single-band model and does not account for personal allowances, other income, carried losses, or reliefs. Rental yields and returns are not guaranteed. Always speak to a regulated mortgage adviser, qualified accountant, and solicitor before completing a purchase.
