The geography that shapes where tenants live here, Edinburgh's financial services sector, Glasgow, Scotland's largest city and North Sea oil and gas industry, is the same geography surveyors and lenders price every week, and our casework runs across all of it.

Products

Company buy-to-let products in Alba

The product set is the same across the region: purchase and remortgage for SPVs, portfolio refinance, HMO and multi-unit, bridge-to-let, and the refinance leg when landlords move personally held property into a company. Lenders assess company borrowers at a 125% interest cover ratio rather than the 145% applied to higher-rate personal borrowers, so the same rent supports more borrowing inside the company, an advantage that matters most where yields are tightest.

Rental market

The Scotland private rental sector

Across the Scotland towns we cover, an average of 27% of households rent from a private landlord (Scotland's Census 2022), above the UK-wide figure of around 19%. Median monthly rent across those towns is £1,377 (ONS Price Index of Private Rents), against a £305,000 median sold price, which is what produces the region's 5.42% average gross yield. The strongest county averages sit in Lothian; each county page below breaks the figures down town by town.

Frequently asked questions

Can an SPV buy property anywhere in Scotland?

Yes. A special purpose vehicle registered at Companies House under SIC code 68100 or 68209 can hold a buy-to-let mortgage on property anywhere in Scotland, and lender appetite does not stop at county lines. We arrange company buy-to-let across all 1 towns we cover in the region, spanning 1 county. What changes from market to market is the arithmetic, median prices and rents move the maximum loan, not the lender's willingness to lend.

Which Scotland counties have the strongest yields for company landlords?

Across the towns we cover, the strongest average gross yields in the region are Lothian at 5.42% (derived from Registers of Scotland sold prices and ONS rents). Higher yields mean the 125% company interest cover ratio is met with more room, which usually translates into full 75% loan-to-value being available rather than rental cover binding first.

How much deposit does a property company need in Alba?

Most limited company buy-to-let lenders cap loan-to-value at 75%. On the £305,000 median sold price across the Scotland towns we cover (Registers of Scotland sold prices), that points to a deposit of around £76,250. The deposit usually enters the company as a director's loan, documented so the lender can see its provenance, and repayable to you tax-free as the company's cash allows.

Do lenders price Scotland differently from the rest of the UK?

Not by region. Limited company buy-to-let pricing is driven by loan-to-value, property type, the company's profile and the rental cover, not by which region the property sits in. Specialist SPV lenders such as Paragon, Kent Reliance, Fleet Mortgages, Foundation Home Loans quote on the same criteria nationwide. Where the region does matter is the valuation: local sold prices and achievable rents set the numbers the underwriter works from, which is why every town page below carries its own market data.

Worked example

A non-regulated buy-to-let mortgage of £200,000 on a property valued at £300,000 over a 25-year term, on a 5-year fixed rate at 5.49% reverting to a variable rate, would have monthly interest-only payments of approximately £915. The capital balance remains outstanding at the end of the term and must be repaid by sale, refinance, or capital repayment from another source. Rates correct as of June 2026. Illustrative only; actual product, rate and fees vary by lender and case.

Lender panel and fees

We have access to a panel of 100+ specialist buy-to-let lenders, including high-street, specialist, and challenger banks. Initial consultation is fee-free. We charge 1% of the loan amount, payable only on successful drawdown. The procuration fee paid by the lender (typically 0.30% to 0.55% on limited company buy-to-let) is taken first; you pay the difference up to 1% only where the lender's proc fee is below 1%. No fee at all if the case does not complete. Exact figures are confirmed in writing before you commit.
