Question on application
Looking for some help with a question please, had BTL mortgages for years but never seen this question before.
Might be a simple answer but i am unsure ?
"Will at least 40% of the property be used as, or in connection with a residential dwelling"
Anyone care to translate to simple english ?

Tell us what you're trying to mortgage and we'll tell you what the answer should be

I presume it's aimed at mixed commercial/residential properties e.g. shop with flat upstairs.0 -

Nothing fancy just a Mid Ter Hse - no commercial in sight
Its on a Virgin App form and I have never seen a form as big :rotfl:0 -
Perhaps they use a standard form for all mortgages - residential, commercial, mixed etc.
Just answer the question.

The question's been answered - so it's not really relevant anymore, but if anyone wants more context, it looks like it's section 5 question 52 on Virgin Money's BTL mortgage application form:
