    You have a poor credit history but wish to enter into a high risk transaction at a time when the market is at the top of a bubble and showing signs of decline?

    Buy to let deposits typically need to be at least 15% and the rent needs to cover the mortgage which in reality means you need a bigger deposit than 15%.

    What rental yields are you looking at and what sort of deposit have you got?

    There are lenders who should look at doing this but as Dunston says you should exercise caution. Speak to a broker that understands B2L and has his own portfolio.
