    Yes.

    See a broker. I can think of at least one BTL lender with an expiry age of 90 for experienced landlords, 75 for others.

    You'll need to satisfy the other criteria, loan to value, rental income multiple etc.

    Basically, yes. There are BTL providers who will accept you (term to age 90 yrs) subject to minimum income requirements.

    If I were 72 .... with an estate worth that much .... I'd be looking to sell up, buy a nice warm manageable place ... and blow about £1million on some nice cruises/activities and a bit of fun.

    In that case you should have no problem finding a BTL provider...or an adviser finding on your behalf.

    Or are you asking on behalf of a client Alex?

    Reason being is that you say you're 72 but last year your father passed away aged 63 on a previous thread you posted on.:think:
