New 85% LTV Buy-to-Let Mortgage Launch: A Game-Changer for UK Property Investors

If you're looking to invest in UK property with a low deposit, there's exciting news in the buy-to-let (BTL) mortgage market. A new 5-year fixed buy-to-let mortgage at 85% loan-to-value (LTV) is now available — making it significantly easier for both first-time landlords and seasoned investors to access funding and grow their rental property portfolios.
At Swift Financial, we’re proud to offer this product to our clients. Whether you're just starting out or expanding your portfolio, this flexible option could help you turn cash into income while reducing the upfront costs typically associated with buy-to-let mortgages.
What’s on Offer: Key Highlights
This new mortgage offering is designed to open up opportunities for a wider range of property investors, particularly those who have found high deposit requirements a barrier to entry.
Here’s what makes this buy-to-let product stand out:
Up to 85% LTV – Start your investment with just a 15% deposit
Available to both individuals and limited companies – Ideal for all types of landlords
5-year fixed rate – Provides stability and certainty in repayments
No product fee – Helps reduce the initial costs of securing finance
No minimum income requirement – Broadens accessibility for different financial situations
Minimum loan size of £100,000 – Suitable for a wide variety of property investments
Same-day Decision in Principle (DIP) – Enabling quick action on new opportunities
Why It’s a Big Deal for Investors
Historically, buy-to-let investors have had to save large deposits to secure competitive mortgage products — usually 20–25% of the property value. This new mortgage changes that, offering a low-deposit solution for those looking to invest in property or free up capital for additional purchases.
And because it’s available to both individuals and limited company landlords, it supports a growing number of investors opting to purchase through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for tax efficiency and long-term planning.
It’s also a fee-free product, meaning there are no upfront product charges, which helps keep your initial costs lower — something especially attractive for those looking to build a property portfolio quickly and cost-effectively.
Who Could Benefit?
This mortgage is well suited to:
First-time landlords looking to get started in the rental market
Portfolio landlords who want to expand with a lower deposit
Investors aiming to release equity from current properties to reinvest
Buyers purchasing through a limited company structure
Those looking to invest in property with a low deposit but still benefit from fixed-rate certainty
Landlords who want a quick application process and fast DIP turnaround
Whether your strategy is to turn cash into rental income, build long-term wealth through UK investment property, or secure another asset for your portfolio, this product makes it more accessible than ever.
