Renting your home & buying another

Options
I know there are lots of saying about when people start to get old, similar is happening here. Can one rent their property(Mortgage free) and use that income to buy another.

Which building society is the best to approach.

    Yes they can - its called a "let to buy". You will still be advised to put down a deposit on the new place which will allow you to get better rates from the mortgage lenders. Most lenders will do this so use a broker to do all the research for you, saving you time and money...... Good luck!
