Buying house at reduced price

I am trying to buy my partners house at a much reduced price than its worth.
It's approx 70% of its value.
I will need a mortgage to cover this purchase but at present I don't have a deposit; it's tied up in other properties.
I can easily afford the payments on a buy2let. The property is let and has long term tenants.
I'm looking for an interest only B2L.
Will the 30% equity in the property count as a deposit?
What are my other options?
Cheers.

    Possibly with some lenders, but it comes down to the details.

    Sounds like it can be done. Could be very tricky however, if you do not currently own a property yourself.
