    if you tell us what area you are in, someone might know of a good broker near you.

    Would you prefer to see a broker face to face or are you happy with phone advice?

    Would prefer not to LTB existing properties as it'll mean more fees initially but if needs must....

    LTB is not the same as BTL

    If you chnaged to BTL then you would probable incure greater fees

    To get consent to let from your current lender will cost a fee, varies from lender to lender. However no re-mortgaging fees involved.

    The new purchase will be the LTB lender, and the fees incurred will be normal for a property purchase

    should we be loking for something specific in an adviser/broker? As you say this is a lot of money and we don't have any time for mistakes.

    thanks for everything so far....

    Fees free and whole of market would be a good starting point
