This used to be true, but there are no lenders at the moment who will base your mortgage based on expected earnings.

try 'International Private Finance' - we refer our international purchasers to them and they are very good.

If you intend to use the flat as an office you will need to find a commercial lender and the loan will be based on your companies income. Your current lender will be the the best place to start

Most 'sub prime' mortgages are only available from specialist lenders and most are available from brokers only. do your research and expect to have to contribute at least 30% of the purchase as loan to values are still low. Some lenders to look at are Kensington& Aldermore or Blemain

Yes, you will pay tax on the rental income received, the interest part of any mortgage and some other expenses can be offset however

No, not at all. Your payments will stay the same (provided you have a guaranteed premium policy & you make all your payments etc). It is the sum assured (death benefit) which decreases according to how the policy is set up.

You should speak to you lender in the first instance - many lenders offer 'product transfers' which is a new fixed or tracker mortgage which will save you having to move onto the standard variable rate and usually cheaper than remortgaging.

In terms of self cert mortgages, yes they have (all but) gone, if you can prove your income using accounts, tax returns and bank statements, you have a loan to value less than (usually) 75% and your mortgage is affordable a good mortgage broker will be able to find you a mortgage

Most flexible mortgages are linked to the base rate, occasionally you will see them kinked to Libor or the lenders standard variable rate. How the mortgage works is always detailed in the key facts illustration.

Yes you can - you need to contact your insurer or financial adviser and they will send you the forms, it is quite simple but make sure you get advice before you sign anything

Every mortgage is different and whether it is the best is based on your circumstances. have a look at a comparison site or speak to a good mortgage broker.

You will need 10% of the purchase price, so £20,000, plus money for legal fees, arrangement fees, valuation and moving costs.

Almost all mortgages are available as interest only. Some lenders charge a slight premium if you choose to pay interest only as opposed to capital and interest.

Although your payments will be lower, you will still have to pay back the capital part of the mortgage at some point which you have to bare in mind.
