Hi,


Looking for some advice here.
I have seen a property local to me for sale at a great price due to it being repossessed. I have spoken with a mortgage broker and I can not get a buy to let mortgage (self employed + large deposit!) so I have been looking at a normal mortgage and was thinking about buying it then a month or so down the line renting it out and calling the bank to tell them I am doing this, I actually have a tenant in mind who is willing to take it.

Is this possible, I have read numerous stories online but not sure if after 1 month they would believe me? Presume the payments would increase but I dont mind as its a good yield.

Thanks

Thanks Sarnie.

BTL I am looking at double the deposit unfortunately, at a push it maybe possible if no other option but it would have to be last resort due to the cost.

Another problem I am having is that with the house being a re-possession it needs to be completed within 21 days of the offer being accepted, after speaking to my mortgage advisor it looks unlikely this will happen frown

Sarnie you seem to be a man in the know. Any chance you could fire me an email and we can chat that way.
I presume you are a broker or similar?
