Buy to Let or any other option?

Hi everyone i have posted this over om the house buying board...

Hi, I'm just in the process of buying a house and i intend to live in it however i have a feeling that my personal situation may change in the next couple of months and i may be moving away. If i do move away i plan to let the property as i wont need to pay for accomodation (I'm staying with a friend). So here is my predicament: Do i get a buy to let mortgage when i may not even be letting the property out or do i get a normal mortgage and if i do move away change it then or is there another answer to this?

And i got this reply...

go to a mortgage broker and ensure you get a mortgage from a lender who will let you lease the property without insisting on changing the mortgage to a BTL one. Some lenders will charge you a couple of hundred pounds and let you let the property others would insist on transferring you to a BTL mortgage at a higher rate with arrangement fees etc.

Does any1 know anythng about the mortgage mentioned e.g who provides them?

Thanks
