Letting out current property and buying new one

I have had an offer accepted on a house of £110000 - my current house is valued at £140000 (I have a £30000 mortgage) and I would quite like to keep it to let out . Would it be possible for me to borrow the money for the new house against the equity in the current house? Any idea what my monthly repayments would be? And how best to go about it? many thanks

    You can raise up to between 85%-90% on BTLs nowadays - which one you opt for will depend on what rates/fees you are looking to pay. Also the rental income would need to be sufficient to justify the loan amount

    However this would still leave you with a shortfall on the new purchase which you will need to fund either with your own savings or with a mortgage.
