Interest free BTL mortgages available?

A bit of advice please. My husband and I currently own our own house and 2 BTLs. No mortgages. We would like to gift our children deposits to buy properties but without selling either of the BTLs (due to capital gains).

Do you think it would be possible to get a £200K interest only mortgage on one of the BTLs (currently worth approx. £550K)? We have pension income of approx £22K plus £25K rental income. We would be responsible for the mortgage payments and would envisage the mortgage being repaid on our deaths from the sale of the property. This would have the benefit of reducing our estate for IHT purposes.

    Yes it is, you need a mortgage broker to assist here.


    You also need some clear advice on IHT planning.
