    I keyed it in Trigold as zero income, input the rental income, made him 66 years old and checked the "new build" and "purpose built flat" boxes.

    Only Halifax and Woolwich came up. Rough guide, I know.

    . After one year of letting no problem, but not on new build.

    .


    You will find life so much easier if you communicate clearly and not expect others to second guess what you mean.

    Reading your wording here sounds like you have already been letting the place out, therefore you must own it already, so why suddenly do you need a mortgage?

    In any event your case is simple to solve - find an EXPERIENCED BROKER (I mean like 10 years +)

    In my experience working on new build properties they are really poor quality too, its not something id invest my money in the places fall apart within a few years. I recommend a builder in Wednesfield though.
