Getting a mortgage on second property with consent to let on first

Hi

We are buying a new home but keeping our existing flat as unable to sell. We have obtained consent to let on the flat with Santander.

We need a 90% LTV mortgage on the new property but having trouble finding a lender who will agree to this as they are all looking for minimum 15/20% deposits.

Anyone else been having similar problems?

    Speak to a broker to get a few options.

    Otherwise, you'll probably find one on your own and assume that's it.

    Lenders take different views on what is self-financing and what isn't.
