The information you seek is impossible to cover in a few lines and Isuggest you start with your own research before committing yourself to buying two properties.0

Must be a homeowner or able to afford as residential if not
Property must be in readily-lettable condition
Minimum valuation.

As Kingstreet says there is a minimum valuation. I often see that the minimum values of a property for a BTL is £50,000. The Mortgage Works is £50,000
