Changing mortgage to buy to let

Hi, I can seem to find an answer to this and hope someone can help!
I have two properties. One is my personal home and the other is a BTL property that I rent out.
I want to move do a different area and therefore want to change my personal home mortgage to a BTL mortgage. What I need to know is if I change this then do I have to put up finance to pay for 20% of BTL mortgage? And if so would the equity in my property cover it? My mortgage is £131k and my propoerty is valued at (by the mortgage company) at £176k.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am a little confused about what you mean. Are you saying you want to let out your second home too?0

You may be able to get Consent to Let (CTL) on the residential mortgage - some lenders agree, but may add extra costs and clauses, whilst other's refuse. CTL is normally a short-term arrangement 3-4 years max, or may be reviewed every year with the option for the lender to rescind it at any time. You may eventually need to change the BTL if you plan to let long-term.0
