Mortgage advice needed re divorce situation please!

Hi

I was hoping someone could advise on the below.

My in laws have separated. They both lived up to now in a house which my brother in law bought for them 2 years ago (value now appreciated to circa 150k, deposit 47k, mortgage 90k) using a deposit he had. He took a buy to let interest only mortgage and has now found out it is illegal to have a buy to let mortgage and then let it to family.

He wants to find a way to keep the house and get a mortgage which will enable him to let it to his mother still. The husband is out of the picture, long story short.

Ideally a private mortgage as he seemingly will get better % rates, but if not a way to get a BTL which he can rent to her?

Any advice gratefully received...
