Buy-to-Let Mortgage FAQs
What deposit do I need for a buy-to-let mortgage in Ireland?
Buy-to-let mortgages in Ireland typically require a larger deposit than residential — usually at least 30% (a maximum loan-to-value of around 70%). We search the market to find the most competitive buy-to-let terms for your situation.
How is buy-to-let mortgage borrowing assessed?
Lenders assess the expected rental income from the property alongside your own finances and experience. Criteria differ from residential mortgages, so working with a broker who knows the buy-to-let market can widen your options.
Is rental income taxable in Ireland?
Yes. Rental profit is taxable, though you can deduct allowable expenses, including a portion of mortgage interest, under Revenue rules. We can point you to the right tax guidance. (Source: Revenue.)
Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage as a first-time buyer?
It's less common, as most buy-to-let lending goes to experienced buyers, but options do exist depending on your circumstances. Talk to us and we'll advise on what's realistic for you.
