A smarter way to invest

Limited company mortgage

The challenge landlords face

Managing a buy-to-let property portfolio can be financially rewarding, but it also comes with challenges. Recent tax changes have made it less profitable to own rental properties in your personal name, and lenders have tightened affordability calculations for individual landlords. How can you continue growing your investment portfolio while keeping your costs down?

The Guide: Pinetree Capital

At Pinetree Capital, we specialize in helping landlords navigate the complexities of property finance. If you’re looking for a smarter way to structure your investments, limited company mortgages could be the right solution for you. We’re here to guide you through the benefits, financing options, and tax implications so you can make an informed decision.

The plan

How Limited Company Mortgages work

A limited company mortgage is a loan taken out by a company, rather than an individual, to purchase buy-to-let properties. This approach can offer significant advantages, including:

Potential tax benefits

Corporation tax rates are generally lower than personal income tax rates, meaning landlords may benefit from lower tax liabilities.

More generous lending criteria

Lenders often offer more favorable affordability calculations for limited companies compared to individual landlords.

Limited liability protection

As a separate legal entity, a limited company protects personal assets from financial risks related to the property portfolio.

Specialist finance access

Limited company mortgages open the door to lenders who specifically cater to professional landlords and investors.

Overcoming potential challenges

While limited company mortgages offer many benefits, they’re not the right fit for every landlord. Before making the switch, it’s crucial to consider:

Tax implications

Speak with a property tax specialist to understand how this structure aligns with your financial goals.

Ensure sufficient funds

Moving properties from personal ownership into a limited company can trigger capital gains tax and stamp duty liabilities.

Understand tax implications

Some lenders require personal guarantees from directors or additional security when approving loans for limited companies.

At Pinetree Capital, our experienced mortgage advisers work with a network of specialist lenders to secure the best limited company mortgage for your situation. Whether you’re:
