Hi,

Hi Mohammed,

It's great that you are buying your second property.

If you are going to live in the new property then it makes sense to use your current property as a rental property.

If you wanted to, you could take out a Buy to Let mortgage on the current property and use the proceeds of this (along with your savings) to purchase your new home.

Alternatively, you could take out a Residential mortgage on the new home.

I hope that helps!
