I am in the process of buying a property to do up. A friend will lend me the money to do it up, but then I will need to pay him back once the property is rented out. Would I be able to get a Buy tt9 Let mortgage to pay my debt off?
has anyone here done this before? All your input will be greatly appreciated.

Why not buy the property with a small mortgage to begin with rather than loaning the money off a friend and getting a mortgage later? The alternative is to pay your friend back from the rental income? How much are they lending you and how quickly do they want their money back?

Yes, you can.
A few lenders will have a problem with it, and many will not let you remortgage within 6 months of purchase, but they will be a number of options.I am a Mortgage Broker
