    We can't sell it because it's rented out for a year. What would be a good morgage and where would you go.

    Where are you living? Are you UK citizens? How much is the property worth? How much rent per month?

    No you don't have to be living there.

    Finding a BTL should be pretty easy. As you are living abroad that may complicate things. I would suggest getting a good Solicitor (not a conveyancer) and a good mortgage broker.

    The broker should be able to advise you on any special requirements and how living abroad might affect things.
