Second mortgage

Options
Hi,

So I have a residential mortgage with a friend on a property, it has consent-to-let and at the end of 5 year fixed term we will be moving to a BTL mortgage.

Now I also wish to purchase a property with my fiancee, however looking around the internet it says second home mortgages LTV is 60%-75%. W only have a 10% deposit and was hoping for a normal mortgage.

As this is her 1st home and my other home will be BTL, will it be a second home mortgage?

Also do you think having BTL will negatively affect affordability criteria, I have heard that if the mortgage is covered by rent it should not be considered in my outgoings.

Thanks
