Hoping for some advice from someone a bit more money savvy/knowledgeable than me please :)
My parents currently own a studio flat that is attached to our house. Their plan was to rent it out but they have recently purchased a house for themselves and they have said that they would like to sell the flat so that their new house can be mortgage free.
I love the idea of buying the flat - but would have to rent it out in order to cover the extra mortgage. My question is, are you allowed to borrow extra funds on top of your current mortgage in order to pay for a deposit for a buy to let? Looking at our mortgage website, we would be able to borrow the funds as we have enough equity in our house to do that, I just don't know if they are allowed to lend you that money for the purpose of a buy to let deposit. We are currently in the middle of a fixed period with our mortgage.
Thank you for any advice.
