How a buy-to-let lead reaches your portal
  1. Sees a BTL-specific ad running on Facebook, Instagram, or Google and clicks through.
  2. Tells the qualifier this is a rental property, not a main residence.
  3. Shares whether it's a purchase or remortgage, plus property value and deposit.
  4. Answers rental-income intent and whether they already own BTL property.
  5. Clears our funding minimum on income, deposit, and credit profile.
  6. Enters email and phone. Both get validated before anything goes live.
  7. Opens a live calendar and picks a specific slot for the broker call.
  8. Shows up in your portal as a claimable BTL appointment (one credit).

What is a buy-to-let lead?

A buy-to-let (BTL) mortgage lead is a UK landlord, or aspiring landlord, who wants advice on financing a rental property. On MortgagesBooked, a BTL lead is someone who's selected buy-to-let in our qualifier, cleared the funding threshold, and booked a calendar slot with a broker.

The property isn't their main residence. They're buying to rent, or remortgaging an existing rental. Different lenders apply, fees run higher, and the case takes longer. That's why a pre-qualified BTL appointment is worth more than a generic "mortgage" lead that turns out to be a BTL two minutes into the call.

What's captured on every BTL enquiry

Every BTL lead arrives with the data you need before the call:

  • Purchase or remortgage. Transaction type is clear from the start
  • Property value and deposit (or outstanding balance and equity on a remortgage)
  • Rental income intent. Expected monthly rent for stress-test viability
  • Landlord status. First-time landlord or existing portfolio
  • Applicant income and employment. Meets lender minimums
  • Credit profile. Clean, light adverse, or heavier issues
  • Postcode of the rental property
  • Verified email and UK mobile. Both validated before release
  • Appointment time booked in a live calendar

All of this is on the card before you claim. If the deposit's too small for your panel, or the property type isn't something you write, skip it. You only spend a credit on BTL cases you'd actually take on.

Portfolio vs first-time landlord

BTL is really two markets. A first-time landlord with a £40k deposit on a £200k terrace is a different call to a portfolio landlord remortgaging their sixth property with specialist lending.

The qualifier asks about existing rental properties, so both arrive tagged:

  • First-time landlords. Usually need walking through stress tests, product fees, and how BTL underwriting differs from residential.
  • Portfolio landlords. Already own rental property and often looking to release equity to buy the next one.

Both convert. They just need different brokers. If portfolio is your lane, filter for it. If you're happy with either, the flag on the lead card tells you which conversation you're walking into.

Why BTL appointments run differently

BTL cases don't behave like residential ones. A few things to keep in mind.

  • Higher revenue per case. BTL broker fees and procuration are both higher than residential. A slightly lower show rate still pays better than residential volume.
  • Longer timelines. BTL purchases often sit behind a sale, rental-property surveys take longer, and specialist lenders run more underwriting steps. Your pipeline will carry BTL cases for months, not weeks.
  • Specialist panels. Limited-company BTL, HMOs, holiday lets, and multi-unit blocks need specialist lenders. Brokers with broader panels convert these better. The qualifier tags the complex ones so you know before you claim.

What makes a BTL lead distinct is the layer of rental-property questions sitting on top: landlord status, rental income, property type, existing portfolio size. Underneath that layer, the same filtering runs as on every other lead type we sell. Our own ads. A 13-question qualifier. A funding threshold that blocks casual browsers. Email and phone validation before release. The deeper mechanics live on the lead quality page, and credit arithmetic on pricing.

FAQ

Do you flag the complex BTL cases?
Yes. Limited-company BTL, HMOs, multi-unit freehold blocks, and holiday lets all surface as complexity flags on the lead card before you claim. If your panel only writes mainstream BTL, skip those. If you've got the specialist panels, they're often your best conversion rate because fewer brokers compete to claim them.
What deposit sizes should I expect?
Spread is wide. First-time landlords often come through on 25% deposit against a sub-£250k terrace. Portfolio landlords releasing equity to fund the next purchase can show far larger capital figures. Deposit amount is on every card up front, so if your panel has a 30% LTV floor you can skip the 25% ones at a glance.
Can I filter to see only buy-to-let leads?
Yes. Filter by lead type in your portal to see BTL only, or leave it mixed alongside remortgage, first-time buyer, and equity release. Property type shows on every lead card before you claim.
Are portfolio landlords flagged differently to first-time landlords?
Yes. The qualifier asks about existing rental properties, so first-time landlords and portfolio landlords arrive tagged differently. You can see before you claim whether it's a straightforward case or one that needs a specialist lender.
