    Buying a second property

    Has anyone got any experience of buying a second property on a residential mortgage in the UK? I'm up to speed with BTL mortgages, but the idea is to buy a second place to do up & rent the first out for a few years(which the bank has already Ok'd).

    Already have a mortgage on property 1(which I want to keep as it's so low), but have two BTL owned outright.

    I can hit a LTV of 75% on the second property, but how does that work & is borrowing based on your entire income x multiplier minus existing mortgage & unsecured loans.

    Until about an hour ago, it didn't occur to me that I could do the second property on a residential as I'm presently perm & the multiplier works out correctly.

    Is that how it works? Should I go with the same bank or a different one?

      I looked into this - my bank wouldn't allow a second mortgage.

      What about remortgaging the first property to release the dosh to buy the second outright (if you have enough equity)?

        Well I toyed with the Accountancy forum but wanted to deprive NLUK of 'Have you asked your Accountant', 'Have you asked your Mortgage Advisor' or 'You're clearly not cut out for buying a house'

          I don't have equity in the first house worth drawing down on, I moved it into the BTLs & bonds which I don't want to touch.

          It's a numbers game. The difference with being a Contractor versus a Perm is for some bizarre reason they rate your gross 'perm' salary better than your divvies + take home salary.

            No one buys the 2nd property...

            ..they just don't sell the first when moving on. That's how I did it at least.

                I'd recommend waiting until Osborne launches his new idea - "Help 2 Buy 2nd Home".

                  You miss the point you numpty. I have had multiple properties for years, but always on BTL mortgages.
