    You will need a Buy to Let mortgage or Consent to Let on current property.

    Then look at a purchase mortgage for the new property.

    Do you have a deposit for the new property or are you looking to raise this from the current?

    If you need a Buy to Let mortgage you will need to make sure you have the ewquity in the current property to allow it to happen

    Assuming you fit criteria for lenders this should be straight forward. A broker would be able to fo this for you simultaneously, arrange a Buy to Let for the current releasing any cash required for a deposit, and arranging the purchase mortgage.

    Personally I would not charge for a transaction like this, as would be the deal with most brokers.

    Whole of Market access is important as there are Buy to Let lenders who will deal only with brokers. Impossible to say if one of these would be best for you as I do not know your circumstances but better to have access in case it is.

    If you were to do it yourself you would be arranging 2 mortgages which you may find a hassle. Broker would do both making life much easier for you
