Why do they want to buy at this time? Are they aware of the new tax changes and what legal and financial implications of being a LL?
Have they considered the costs for void periods and eviction costs which run into 4-5 figures.
There will be extra stamp duty to be paid as well.
If they are happy with the above, consider the services of a broker who will be able to answer all of the above tailored tot heir circumstances"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

That's original, a 60+ yo with a house already wanting to buy up housing stock to farm the younger generation for money.....
Joking aside though, I'd look for the highest LTV I could get on an interest only basis if I was them.
