Affordability buy to let mortgage

Hello all
I currently have a buy to let mortgage and the initial 2 year fixed deal is up in September.
I am currently looking at purchasing a new car (loan)
I’m just wondering wether personal monthly payments are going to affect my affordability on a buy to let mortgage or if it just on a main residential mortgage?
Hope this makes sense
Thanks

    Maybe maybe not.

    It depends on the level of rent received and if the chosen lender needs to use surplus personal income to meet affordability.

    Get a broker on this.

    To be honest, a mortgage is a serious step and you need to be very careful when you are trying to take a mortgage, it could make your life to look like a horror dream. As far as I know, you can find a lot of information about mortgages, so I advise you to read it all and try to understand it, as you will need to sign a lot of documents to obtain a mortgage, this could take you a lot if you do not know some tips that could make it not so painful. I advise you to read an article about envoy mortgages and you will find out a lot of useful tips and advises how to take a mortgage and not to lose a lot of time and money. I think, this is the best article about mortgages I have ever read, and it helped me a lot, after I read this article I was able to take the best offer

    A broker will be able to compare the rent against different lender affordability requirements and establish if surplus income will be needed and if it is, is it enough.
