The buy to let mortgage market has seen huge growth in recent years - this has attracted much media attention, and has led to Government intervention and a tightening of lenders requirements.
Whilst most buy to let lending remains outside of Financial Conduct Authority regulation, lenders treat this type of borrowing in a similar way to regulated residential mortgages, with strict, but varying criteria imposed.
This means that in many cases one lenders negative response can be a yes elsewhere, so it is vital to take advice from experts in the field.
