Buy to let mortgages

Hi I have around a 30k deposit, I receive DLA benefit, as well as having around 3k a year income from a part time job, and another 6-7k of part time income from temporary work. The question I have to ask is, which banks if any will lend me a mortgage. Virgin Money asked for 25k minimum income which I doubt will get near that anytime soon. I also get around 4k a year in working tax credits.

If you have a £30k deposit, ignoring stamp duty and legal fees. A buy to let is normally minimum of a 25% deposit so that would be a £120k property requiring a £90k mortgage. The rule of thumb is generally 4.5 times your salary so in this case you would need a salary of at least £20kThis is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Just reading the terms in a booklet from the Coventry, to change to a buy to let is 1% extra, plus fee.0
