An increasingly common method of investment in today’s world is that of the buy-to-let mortgage. The unpredictability of the stock market, falling interest rates in savings accounts and limited pension schemes are all forcing investors to increasingly think in this direction. As long as you carefully consider all of your options in the area, a mortgage used to purchase a property that you intend to rent to a third-party tenant or party of tenants can prove to be a very profitable long-term investment.

When looking for a buy-to-let mortgage, you should consider each of the following points:
• Research the market – Research the demand for rented property in your area. If any new businesses or companies are starting in the area, there may well be relocating employees who will be searching for rented accommodation. Also, if there are any local universities or colleges, there is likely to be a healthy student population requiring leased accommodation.
• Your target market – Have a clear idea of who you want to rent your property, and furnish it accordingly. A family house will probably require a dedicated master bedroom, with another bedroom decorated for children, for instance.
• Location – This is also relevant to the type of tenants that you wish to attract. Students will ideally want to be located close to their university or place of study, while families may wish to be closely located to schools, for example. Commuters may also wish to be located somewhere with easy access to public transport.
