Mortgages just got more complicated for dentists, but not unworkable. We dig into what the latest budget actually changes for buy-to-let in personal names, how frozen tax bands quietly pull more rent into higher rates, and why the updated interest tax credits at 22, 42, and 47 percent matter for your cash flow. You’ll hear a clear-eyed view on the policy direction that nudges small landlords out while corporate landlords scale up—and the practical impact that shift has on rents, tenant stability, and long-term yields.
We also unpack where rates are heading right now. With bond markets warming to the budget, fixed-rate funding costs have eased, and lenders are sharpening two- and five-year fixes. That’s positive, but the last two years taught us how quickly markets can turn. Our strategy is simple and dentist-friendly: if your fix ends within six months, secure a product now to cap your risk, then switch to any lower rate if pricing improves before completion. It’s an option, not a commitment, and it turns uncertainty into leverage.
For higher-value homes, we outline the proposed mansion tax bands, valuation timing, and what to watch ahead of 2028. If you’re buying near the thresholds—especially in the South East—build the annual levy into your ownership maths today. Whether you’re remortgaging, purchasing a home, or weighing a buy-to-let, we cover documents to prepare, how to choose between two- and five-year fixes, and the red flags that make a rental deal too thin after tax.
