Let-to-buy mortgages are a form of buy-to-let lending that allows an owner-occupier

LB Let-to-buy
let-to-buy product remortgages the borrowers current main residence onto a BTL
basis, providing they purchase a new property simultaneously as a main residence.
Remortgaging occurs when a borrower redeems his/her current secured loan in
favour of an alternative loan secured on the same property through a different
RE - Remortgaging
lender. This should include cases where a borrower remortgages from one lender to
a different lender within the same group.
This should capture further advances to an existing borrower of the firm, secured on
an existing property. It should also include a remortgage by one of a firms existing
borrowers, but only where the borrower is increasing the overall secured debt (also
FA - Further advance known as internal refinancing). This will not always be transacted in exactly the
same way by different lenders. Regardless of whether a firm genuinely treats the
advance of new money as a further advance or whether the old loan is formally
replaced with a new loan of increased size, this related to the net increase. Similarly,
ported mortgages should be excluded, but any additional borrowing in relation to
