buy to let mortgage

hi,,
i have a house with a one account offset mortgage on it, at the moment am in credit by £1000. The house is worth approx £120,000.
I have seen a flat up for sale for £75,000 what would be the best way to raise money to buy this.
I am thinking of buying this to rent out.

thanks in advance for your advice

    One way to do this is to raise the deposit on your house withe the one account and then do a BTL mortgage on the new flat. Typicaly you need a 15% deposit buy in some cases you can get away with 10% as long as the rental income stacks up. this way it can be done as a No Money Down deal. it is a way they I have used to buy a few of my Buy To Lets. You need to contact an independent broker with BTL experience, preferably one of us that doesnt charge broker fees.
    I like to give people as many choices as possible to do what I want them to. (Milton H Erickson I think)
