A friend of mine is looking for a Buy to Let Mortgage. Has 20k deposit. Income is also 20k. Property is 60k.
Credit record is fine.

I said I'd ask on here for him.

    People here dont give loans :D Tell him to go and see a mortgage broker, they do.

    Does your friend own (even if with a mortgage) a house already? If not his odds are low.

    Yes he has. I just said that somebody on here would probably know of a lender who would suit his needs.

    There is nowhere near enough information to say. We could probably advise of a few lenders who would be happy with a £20k income and a £60k purchase price, but there could be more obstacles to overcome.

    Then if you can't think of a company who is likely to consider the application on the above criteria and you fill in 6-7 pages before you can you must waste a lot of your working day. I'll do a bit of googling for him.

    I have an idea of some lenders who would accept it, but I dont do half a job.

    If this is your friend's solution to funding his buy to let he sounds like a bit of a worry.

    Tell him to hurry up and get you googling as it will be a whole lot more difficult next month.

    is it the new tax regulations your implying? or the new stress tests?

    Your mistaken, the buyer has to fill in the Fact find, with the broker then matching them to a product. The brokers on here are not allowed to suggest lenders due to forum rules.


    I could suggest the Bank of Rhubarb but it would not be good for your friend. Not one size fits all.


    Does your friend know what it means to be a Landlord and the risks involved. It isn't easy money. What if you need to evict someone who doesn't pay rent? do you think it's cheap to get a high court writ and bailiffs?


    Does your friend know the legal implications of be a LL too, tax, Gas check e.t.c?
