Buy-to-let mortgage for a renovation project

Hi, has anyone managed to persuade their mortgage lender to lend a significant amount of money (around £200,000) for a buy-to-let holiday home in the UK which requires a significant amount of renovation work? I've found our dream house in Snowdonia, but it requires a lot of work! Or is this just a pipe-dream? (I already have one mortgage and one BTL mortgage.)

    If its major rennovation I would imagine you will need something like this

    Most BTL lenders have criteria which state the property must be habitable, functional kitchen, toilet etc.

    If you get funding on this it will be a commercial arrangement at commercial rates.
