Supporting your ambitions

Buy to Let mortgage specialists.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate most Buy to Let Mortgages

A buy to let property is an investment made by an individual landlord, limited company or a business and rented out to generate an income. Like any investment, there is a lot to consider when taking out a buy to let mortgage and our team of expert mortgage advisers are on hand to guide you every step of the way.

As a buy to let mortgage is used to buy a property you will not be living in, there are some differences between these and standard residential mortgages:

  • The lending criteria differs for buy to let mortgages and instead of being based on income, the amount you can borrow is linked to how much rent the property can generate.
  • Once your mortgage is approved, the property can be rented out to tenants.
  • Higher interest rates are common on buy to let mortgages compared to standard products.
  • Buy to let mortgages often require a higher deposit, with levels of 20% or above typical.
  • Arrangement fees are sometimes calculated as a percentage of the loan amount rather than a flat fee.
  • Buy to let mortgages are often offered on an interest-only basis, meaning the capital borrowed is only paid back at the end of the loan term.

Effective and Efficient


Gerry and the team at Sexton Financial Services have been absolutely fantastic! We have just remortgaged which can be very stressful as a self employed couple but everyone in Gerry’s team has been professional, friendly and very efficient. We were shocked how quickly the team work. Gerry is very knowledgeable and it’s obvious he really cares about his clients. He was always happy to personally take our calls and answer any questions we had.

My husband and I had a negative experience with a different company 5 years ago who took weeks to respond to emails and often just ignored our calls. They made the whole mortgage process even more stressful. We just felt like a number to them.

Gerry and his team were the complete opposite. They are so on the ball with everything, they were always happy to help. It was such a pleasant experience, we will certainly be coming back here for any other financial services going forward.

Thank you Gerry and team 😊

I can't recommend Gerry and the team highly enough! From the very first call, they took the time to truly understand our individual needs. The advice has been clear, and always tailored to our specific situation. The team have been super responsive to any of my queries along the way. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to helping you, I highly recommend reaching out. It's one of the best decisions I've made.

Amazing company! Really took the stress out of buying our first home and were there every step of the way. They didn't mind answering any questions I had and did so with such kindness and patience, being a first time buyer, I was clueless! They found the best deal for us, and kept checking the market ensuring we got the best rate before completing. I honestly cannot recommend them enough. Friendly, knowledgeable, patient and had the perfect personal touch. Thank you, guys

I was recommended to use Sexton Financial Services as a mortgage broker through a friend. Throughout the entire process i found the team to be extremely attentive, proactive and responsive. This being my first time taking out a mortgage i had many questions that were all explained to me very clearly. I felt the team were driven to get me the best product possible and i am confident we managed to find the best deal available. I would like thank Gerry, Kirstie and Natasha for their help and I will be passing on the good word if anyone were to ask me for a recommendation.
