It means Pepper Money’s buy-t0-let mortgages can be accessed by borrowers who want to let out their home, rather than sell it when they move, while using Pepper’s Residential range to fund the onward purchase.

Paul Adams, sales director at Pepper Money, said: “At Pepper Money, we believe it’s important to give people access to the financial products they need to achieve their goals. Increasingly, customers would rather remortgage their home to let it out rather than sell the property, and Let to Buy provides the flexibility to do just that.

“We can fund the mortgage on the property that is being let out, or the onward purchase, or both. We don’t use credit scores to make our lending decisions, and are consistently able to deliver up-to-date service levels on every application.”

Pepper Money’s residential mortgages are available up to 85% LTV, with fixed rates starting at 3.25%.
