Our current house has probably about £80K equity and is on a lifetime tracker mortgage. It's a nice family house in a popular catchment and I think it would rent well.
We are possibly/probably moving for DH's work and were thinking of keeping this house on as a rental property - would we need to change the mortgage (and lose the good rate) to a buy to let product?
We also have £50k in an offset savings account, that we could possibly use as a deposit on a new house/mortgage in the new area if the move becomes permanent, thereby leaving the current house/mortgage/equity intact. Would that change things at all?
