New business BTL Mortgage

Posts: 12 Forumite
Hello everyone, i am purchasing a property share of freehold in london 1 bed flat. Its 260k and im getting a mortgage of 75% LTV 194k and the 66k 25% deposit. My parents had promised to give me majority of this but have now turned around and cannot give me as much. I am short around 20k. Do you know how i can get the money for this ? i will start the mortgage application this, so probably have 2 months before money needs to be exchanged.
Lastly, im also worried i wont be accepted by the lender, i checked my credit score and its 550/750 which i dont think is good. will this be enough ? any help is appreciated. thank you

do you have sufficient equity in your residential property to release funds with additional borrowing?0

In which case your option is to save more or borrow more. Borrowing more might be possible for a BTL but will likely be limited by the rent and will increase the rate you pay which might make the BTL unviable.dipsldn said:

Is there a reason you're buying a BTL before getting your own place?Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.2 -
It's actually because my dad rents a property and i'm planning to purchase this through my company then rent it to him and his girlfriend. He's happy to help me with the mortgage payments as he will be living therejimjames said:

As above, regulated BTL is what you need and they are few and far between.0

Is there a reason you're buying a BTL before getting your own place?You are going to struggle with this one, too many red flags, no property of your own, gifted deposit and planning to rent to close family, and less than 18% deposit available...You are going to need a good broker, but the answer may well be 'no'.

Hi thank you everyone. My broker had two potential options with really high rates. That was willing to accept my criteria. first time buyer, gifted deposit etc. But i didnt mention i will rent it to my parents, will this cause any problems down the line?0

Hi thank you, i know its a silly question but arent they all regulated? and is there a reason for this? in case the market crashes or what? Also, will anyone be checking on the property as to who lives in there and once i purchase it, what generally happens after that? do i need to get an estate agent to manage it or can i just get my family in ?dipsldn said:..but i didnt mention i will rent it to my parents, will this cause any problems down the line?Yes, it will invalidate the mortgage completely.You need a regulated BTL mortgage, it is imperative that you tell your broker immediately about the plan to rent to close family as you are wasting their time right now heading down the wrong path...0
