Reform of tax relief on buy-to-let residential mortgage interest was a surprise in the 2015 summer Budget and the latest instalment of changes came in last month. Rhys Edwards explains the implications of the move to the new system for buy-to-let landlords.

Interest only mortgages are not as readily available as they once were, with only a small proportion of banks now offering them. For banks who still offer these products, there are a number of specific lending requirements. Rhys Edwards explains.

A change in employment status such as promotion to partner or becoming self-employed can cause problems with a mortgage application - but not always. Rhys Edwards explains how some lenders are now much more flexible when it comes to new employment.

The answer isn't as straightforward as it used to be. In fact it should be - how much can you afford to borrow? These are the factors that will affect how lenders view your application.
