    Probably not. If the rent has a mortgage to cover, the best you can normally hope for is a lender ignoring the let property/mortgage as "self financing."

    If there was no mortgage, you might get some of the rent added to income, but probably not all of it.

  • Some lenders will take the net profit of a rental into account, but need some evidence and history of it. I gave copies of tax returns and bank statements
    So many glitches, so little time...

    Only possible with some lenders and if the rental is showing on your tax return - which it isnt as you are not renting them yet.
