Let to Buy & 95% LTV

Hi, I've tried google but haven't had a great deal of luck. Can anyone advise if many lenders will offer a new residential mortgage at 95% LTV with a Let to Buy in the background?

I've posted on here before and received a great deal of help. The situation is that myself and my girlfriend are buying a house early next year but we want to keep her flat on and let this out. I was just wondering if many lenders would offer 95% LTV on the new mortgage as we only wanted to save a 5% deposit, as well as the stamp duty (I understand it will be subject to checks and affordability, but wondered if this is theoretically an option).

Thank you

    Yep. There are two/three.

    Consult an independent broker for guidance.

    No, sorry.

    That's the reason for the broker referral.
