We were thinking of selling our apartment to trade up to our family home and have had estate agents in to look and value. There was no great shocks there and obviously disappointed. After having more time to think we are looking at the idea of remortgaging this apt as a buy to let and using some of the equity that is left towards the deposit and SD to our new home. It would be our intention to hold on to this apt as an investment for the long-term (20 years plus). Can anyone advise around what size of a LTV would be required by the banks for a buy to let mortgage? It would give us an idea of how much more we need to save...
