Buy-to-let loan

Loan amount: Your buy-to-let home loan amount will depend on your individual circumstances, the value of the property you want to buy and your income. Maltese residents can borrow up to 75% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is lowest. Non-residents can borrow up to 65% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is lowest.

Loan term: A buy-to-let may be repaid over a maximum term of 25 years but is to be repaid by retirement age.

Loan type: Variable interest rate.

Life insurance: To ensure that your home loan is repaid in the event of death, having an adequate life insurance is essential. We can also provide a life policy to suit your needs.

Building insurance: You must take out adequate buildings insurance. This should cover the cost of rebuilding your home and we recommend that you review the level of cover from time to time to protect your investment.

Variable interest rates: Variable rates can change over the term of your home loan. We quote the rate as a margin over our Home Loans Base Rate. If the Home Loans Base Rate changes, your variable interest rate will change as well. This will affect your monthly repayment.

Fees: Terms and conditions apply
