mortgage advise needed

I currently have 2 mortgages, one is with NatWest which is for the house I live in and the other is with Leeds building society which I let and have been doing so for around 5 years. I gained consent to let from the start with Leeds BS and I am on there SVR rate plus 1% extra for the consent to let which in total is 6.69%. the property is worth around £95000 and mortgage balance is £75000. the mortgage is a repayment of £646 (interest only is £424) with rental income of £500 per month.
I will be buying a house with my fiancee around Feb 2016 and I will be selling my house that I currently live in and I will be getting a joint mortgage with my fiancee.
My question is when I get a mortgage with my fiancee will the mortgage that I have on my house that I let affect how much we can borrow for my new mortgage? will lenders treat this rental income differently if I change to a buy to let mortgage from consent to let?
If I change the mortgage on my rented house to a buy to let I could get a 80% LTV and would be able to meet the 125% rental income as rates are around 5%. Also should I switch to interest only BTL as to also help with how much we can borrow on the new mortgage?

Yes it will affect your options.
The situation as is, will be a particular problem.
A buy to let re-mortgage will help.
When the time comes, use a mortgage broker.I am a Mortgage Broker
