    If it's a BTL mortgage, the usual repayment method would be sale of property.

    You're not expected to have a separate repayment vehicle which would be paid for out of taxed income.

    Sounds like Bank of Scotland do not consider it a buy to let mortgage.


    Was the property originally acquired with the help of BOS as your home Abbey?

  • a broker arranged the mortgage i think he maybe set it up as a second home. I just did what he advised

    Did your broker advise you to take out a residential mortgage instead of a BTL and still let out the property without getting consent to let?

    Your plan would be to sell the property or take out a proper BTL mortgage.

    If you have the equity and the rental income fits, why not remortgage to a BTL product?
