Mortgage/Loan for Second House

Options
I'd be grateful for a little help ... My current house is worth around £180k and has no outstanding mortgage. I'd like to buy a second house at auction to renovate and either sell or rent.

Maximum spend would be £100k and I could raise a deposit of £15k. Please could someone advise the best method of financing the second house.

I have been in full time employment for 5 years and earn enough to give the taxman 40%. Thanks Mick

    Quickest and easiest way would be a remortgage of your unencumbered property.

    Some lenders will even offer free legal fees and free valuations.

    If you are not sure on the process get in contact with a good whole of market adviser.
