Buy-to-let in South Wales

Whether you’re looking at the Cardiff area, Pembrokeshire’s county town, Haverfordwest, or spots in the Brecon Beacons such as Llandeilo, buy-to-let is a brilliant way to invest in property. It allows you to collect an annual rental yield while seeing the value of your property increase year on year.

Irrespective of whether you’re thinking about buying your first home to let or adding to a comprehensive property portfolio, buy-to-let is popular for a variety of reasons. It can be a great way to buy and sell property at a prolific rate, as you benefit from fluctuations in local and national markets. It’s also ideal as way to plan for both your own and your family’s future, with property among the most sensible investments you can make.

In the short term, you can expect little to no maintenance costs in the first few years of owning a new build.

The process of buying a new build off-plan couldn’t be simpler. Usually, all you have to commit financially is a holding fee while your new property is built. You need to obtain a mortgage in principle and convert that to a mortgage offer as with any other house purchase, with specific buy-to-let mortgages available through a variety of lenders. You’ll eventually pay a full deposit upon exchange and completion, which is another step made simpler by the fact there’s no chain with new builds.
