Regulated BTL

How does the affordability work for a regulated BTL for family.
I have a BTL property at the moment that has an ordinary BTL mortgage on it with tenants. The mortgage is based on the rent.
If , one day , in the future , I wanted to let this to family I know that I would have to change the mortgage to a regulated BTL.
My question is , is a regulated BTL mortgage based on income or rent or both. My understanding of it was that rent was discounted from affordability and it went on income only.
Is a regulated BTL also interest only like a normal BTL mortgage. I know that a lot of lenders don't do them but are slowly becoming more popular. Are they hard to get and is the interest higher than a normal BTL mortgage.
This is not something that I want to do now and know all the pitfalls etc of renting to friends and family.

Regulated BTL's are assessed in the same manner as residential mortgages i.e. strict rules. Whereas unregulated BTL is commercial lending.1
