Limited Company Buy-to-Let Mortgages – SPV Specialists for Tax-Efficient Investing

More landlords than ever are buying property through limited companies – often called Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) – to benefit from more favourable tax treatment and improved long-term profitability.

As specialist brokers for Limited Company Buy-to-Let Mortgages, we guide you through SPV setup, lender requirements, and the finance process so you can grow your portfolio tax-efficiently.

Why Consider a Limited Company (SPV) Buy-to-Let?

Since changes to mortgage interest tax relief, many higher-rate taxpayers have found personal ownership less profitable. SPV ownership can:

  • Allow full mortgage interest to offset in company accounts
  • Enable higher borrowing potential under different stress test rules
  • Make it easier to ringfence property investments from personal finances
