Quick question:

Options
OH is going to raise a mortgage on his house - owned outright.

Two things raise questions - 1. He doesn't live in it (he lives with me) and 2. His grown up son does live in it, but isn't a tenant and doesn't have a tenancy agreement.

We don't want a buy to let, because they are so much more expensive. Will he be able to raise a normal mortgage on this property?

    How much equity is being released and what's the purpose of the funds.

    Someone being resident in the property would need to be declared.
