Product Details
What kind of mortgages do Godiva offer?
Godiva Mortgages specialises in the buy-to-let sector. Much of their product range is aimed at landlords and it is dominated by fixed-rate buy-to-let mortgages, with introductory rates periods of 2-5 years. Tracker buy-to-let mortgages are also available as part of its 'Flexx' range.
In addition to standard buy-to-let mortgages, Godiva also offer the following products:
- Portfolio mortgages
- Buy-to-let remortgages
- Green additional borrowing
Do they offer residential mortgages as well?
Godiva no longer offer residential mortgages, but anyone who has an existing mortgage with them is able to refinance onto a new deal. Their residential remortgage range is dominated by fixed-rate deals, with introductory rates periods of 2-10 years.
Income and LTV requirements
Godiva's buy-to-let mortgages have no minimum personal income requirement as affordability is based on projected rental returns. Their maximum loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is 75%, meaning you need a deposit of at least 25% of the property's value.
What rates are available on Godiva's buy-to-let mortgage range?
Godiva's mortgage rates are generally competitive with other buy-to-let lenders. The exact rate you qualify for with them will depend on how much deposit you have, the overall strength of your application and the type of product you choose.
