What type of Mortgage?

Hi, Im new to this guys but need advice.

My partner and i want to buy a house which has 3 holiday lets attatched to it.
Neither of us are working, but my partner has over £50,000 in savings (we survive on the interest!)

My question is would he get a mortgage on £200,000 based on his savings and the fact that we would have an income from 3 holiday lets?
If so what mortgage would it be?

Many thanks Donna:)

    You'll need a commercial mortgage of some kind (prob BTL).

    The deposit looks good, but much will depend on the ratio of expected income to mortgage repayments. Requirement of 125% is common for BTL, but this is complicated by the fact that you will be living there too.

    See an independant mortgage advisor or post on the mortgage forum.

    You survive on the interest on £50k, wow what are you a pair of church mice? I have more than 5 times as much saved up and live frugally but still couldn't get by on the interest on my savings.

    I would also want to know how you survive on that amount per year (3% £1500/year?). I want to know as that is real moneysaving:)
