Important information
This purchase estimate does not assess affordability or confirm mortgage availability. It excludes buying costs and any fees added to the loan. Your lender’s valuation and criteria may change the LTV it uses. Percentages are rounded to two decimal places where needed; the guidance uses the unrounded LTV.

Your questions answered
How is buy-to-let loan-to-value calculated?
Subtract your deposit from the purchase price to find the mortgage amount, then divide that amount by the purchase price and multiply by 100.
For example, a £200,000 rental property bought with a £50,000 deposit needs a £150,000 mortgage, giving an LTV of 75%.
What is a good LTV for buy-to-let?
There is no single ideal LTV for every landlord. A lower percentage may give access to different rates and products, although fees, expected rent and the lender’s criteria still affect your options.
How much deposit do I need for a buy-to-let?
The deposit you need depends on the lender, property and your circumstances. As an illustration, 75% LTV means a 25% deposit, while 80% LTV means a 20% deposit.
These examples do not confirm mortgage availability, and you should allow separately for property tax and other buying costs.
Will my LTV determine how much I can borrow?
Yes. The calculation is the same whether you buy in your own name or through a limited company or SPV. Enter the purchase price and deposit for the proposed purchase; the calculator does not check company eligibility or advise which ownership structure to choose.
Can I use this calculator for a limited company?
Yes. The calculation is the same whether you buy in your own name or through a limited company or SPV. Enter the purchase price and deposit for the proposed purchase; the calculator does not check company eligibility or advise which ownership structure to choose.
Could a lender calculate a different LTV?
Yes. This estimate uses the purchase price you enter, while the lender’s valuation and any fees added to the loan may change the LTV.
For example, a £150,000 mortgage against a valuation of £190,000 gives an LTV of about 78.95%.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some buy-to-let mortgages.
