    In the short term - DON'T PANIC

    If the Buy to Let (BTL) mortgage is being paid and up to date the lender is happy.
    Whilst strictly speaking you are not "allowed" to live in you own BTL mortgaged property it is not a hanging offence!!

    Is this a long term solution for your residence? Or temporary?
    If temporary I would be tempted to just leave things as they are.

    Otherwise.
    Two main options.
    1 Ask the BTL lender if they will transfer the loan to a residential mortgage.
    2 Get a no fee broker to advice you on options to remortgage onto a residential mortgage. Your credit problems might mean a higher rate however.
