Getting a buy-to-let mortgage

I wish to purchase a buy to let property as an investment, I am looking to buy 4 flats in one property for £175K, would need £150K Interest Only Mortgage.

I have £100K in my own house equity and earn around £30K per annum.

The income from the property would be about £16K a year.

Would I get a mortgage ?

I did try one and they said I would have to be earning £50K to get one that size? I always thought it was done on the property.
Nice to save.

    On the basis of what you have put on the board, you should be able to get a mortgage sorted out. Some lenders are a bit funny about more than one mortgage in the same block, but I think there will still be options open to you.

    As long as the property type and rental income are OK with the lender there will be options.
