    Not really a BTL then as you want to live in the property.
    I would not mention that when applying :-)


    Looks like its a BTL now though....

    property is worth £50k, so I don't need a big mortgage,

    One problem here is the low value of the property. Only having £12,500 equity in the property does not give you or the lender much protection against prices falling, damage caused by bad tenants, dilapidation during repossession - in other words the lender doesn't actually have much confidence they will be able to recover the full value of the mortgage if they have to repossess.

    already talked with one broker who had access to 19 lenders and all required min. 25k income :(. I'm looking for a buy to let mortgage because property is 300 miles far away, I lived there before and I would like to move there in the future.

    3 curve balls

    No current property
    Low personal income
    Low property value

    You need a very shrewd broker for this one. I suspect the property value will be the barrier.

    Consider buying the property without a mortgage, get it tenanted and get an established rental income, then go to a lender and obtain a secured loan or mortgage

    Buy for cash if you can then refinance after 6 months as an experienced landlord
