New mortgage for a flat to buy for renting it

hello
Can anyone please shed some light as the mortgage adviser I used when I bought my house 4 years ago, its nowhere to be seen, very good fella though
Looking to buy a ex council flat nearby to my house for 210.00

the house I own, was bought on my name 4 years ago with 30 years repayment 233.00 but I have overpaid and currently stands at 130.00 owed to the bank and current mortgage is 3 years fixed with 790.00 a month to pay

my wages 44.000 a year and they been that much for the last 5 years .. my wife part time at 8500.00 a year

I have got 55.000 deposit to put on this flat
I m told there is a cheaper way for the first few years to go for a mortgage but in a short time as offer is accepted and need to move fast..have put conditions to the seller for a fast sale and to take it of the market, so need to behave the same way myself
do I just go for buy to let or, should my wife be better of to be the one buying it? savings are in both names
thank you
