    You mean you want your buy to let to become your principal residence and release equity on it?

    A 2nd property, not BTL, but rented!!!??.....

    1. How is your credit file, any missed payments, defaults
    2. What LTV are you looking to take 2nd property to
    3. Will yr income support 2 mortgages?

    many more factors to consider but a starting point.....

    You are 100% correct, quote: " I am not being funny"....:T...:rotfl:

    The naivety of your question would suggest your overall knowledge of mortgages is...shall we say "limited". The questions I posted was indeed relevant .......You won't find any bank/lender with a sign above the door saying "Interest Only Mortgages Here".........

    I should have added....As opinions4u has explained..."Most lenders do interest only mortgages"....Don't want to mislead anyone that these are not available, however the criteria to qualify for these has become much tighter....and it is not as simple as saying ie Halifax do interest only mortgages........

    Most lenders do interest only mortgages.

    That's an accurate answer to your question.

    Without knowing the reason why, it's just about impossible to tell you which lenders will allow YOU to have an interest only mortgage.

    So, the reason why (along with all the other questions asked) is EVERYTHING to do with your question, if you expect to get a helpful answer.

    If need to free up cash to buy the property, suggests you don't have the necessary capital to fund an expanding empire.

    Reducing a mortgage from repayment to interest only is scrapping the barrel.

    Lenders now will in the main require a repayment vehicle to discharge the capital owing.

    .......and taking the above into consideration.... some would be very hesitant about raising capital/releasing equity to fund a deposit on another property and quite rightly so.....
