Illustrative scenario 04Evidence focus: The two transactions need one joined-up budget

The wider assessment
The two transactions need one joined-up budget
The retained property's rental assessment affects the loan available there. The next residential mortgage has its own affordability test. We look at how any equity release, mortgage redemption and onward deposit line up at completion.
Keeping the former home can change property-tax costs and ongoing commitments. Consent to let and a buy-to-let remortgage are different arrangements.
