I'm a first-time landlord looking to purchase a property requiring minor renovation before letting. Which lenders offer buy-to-let mortgages that allow for light refurbishment, or should I consider a bridging loan first?
Quick Answer
First-time landlords needing to refurbish can use specialist BTL mortgages or bridging loans. BTL lenders support light works, while bridging loans suit more extensive projects.
