Buy to let mortgage

I have lived in my flat now for over 3 years. The flat is valued at £105,000. I am relocating, so want to let out this property, so need to find a buy to let mortgage. I could scrape together enough for a 20% deposit (mixture of equity and savings), which means I would need a 80% LTV buy to let mortgage. Does anyone know of a lender who would lend to me based on these terms (I have never let a property before)?
The flat could comfortably generate a monthly rental income of between £550 - £600 per month.

and I will have low expenses when I move because I will be living with family, so therefore will not have a new mortgage/rent to pay0

Why not just see a mortgage broker or ask your existing lender about a BTL mortgage? Do you definitely need a BTL mortgage, your lender won't give you consent to lease? Have you checked the long lease to see if subletting is permitted?
Have you factored in buildings insurance, service charges, ground rent, major works, mortgage arrangement fees, letting agents fees, landlord's insurance, vacancies, tenants who do not pay, tenants who trash the place, income tax and capital gains tax?Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
