will a buy to let affect my residential mortgage health?

Options
hi all!

i have been looking into the potentials of buying a house wth my brother under a buy to let mortgage and renting it out.

We both currently have a residential mortgages on our own "home" properties which are ticking over nicely.

i was wondering, if i were to enter into the buy to let market, how will this affect me if i want to remortgage or sell up and buy a new home to live in in the future? is it taken into account when devising new mortgage products that are suitable for me - i dont want to scupper my chances of the best deals on account of a potentially small income looking at current yields!

any advice would be handy. thank you

    Most lenders will ignore a self-sufficient let property & mortgage, others don't and would tax you the monthly payments, in case you were having to pay two mortgages for a while.

    The answer here is, it will depend on the lender...
