Switch between residential to BTL mtg?

Hi all,

Does anybody know if its possible to switch from a residential mortgage to a BTL? Does the bank look at LTV/equity if you don't have enough deposit? Also, do they compare rental return to interest-only portion even if its a repayment. Might be considering this next summer.

Thanks

    Only a few lenders doing BTL mortgages ( lots got fingers burnt)
    Deposit of 25/30% and higher rates than residential plus set up fees
    Rent must be at least 125% of interest only cost ( mortgage)
