    Also "in 5 years I'll sell both"
    What if your tenant doesn't want to leave? If you end up evicting them because you want to sell you will then have an empty house you are paying mortgage on for however long it takes to sell it. You can sell it with tenant in situ but that will considerably reduce its value
    Good point the BTL will probably be with a family member so should not be an issue - but I take your point it's something to bear in mind.
    If that's your child, sibling or parent then you will need a regulated BTL mortgage...they are more onerous and harder to get
    ok, thanks
