    Apologies I got a bit mixed up I thought he was talking about tax on the rent of the new property

    To answer the original question it really depends on the rental potential and the ability to meet the monthly mortgage repayments. And it also depends if the bank is happy with taking on the risk. It might be better to do a remortgage, I am assuming that the remortgage would be on their Principle residence. Buy to lets generally have a higher interest rate and so it would be best to remortgage at the lower rate. (I'm making the assumption that there is an existing mortgage on the Principle residence, it is variable and there is enough equity to release from the property).

    TBH your friend is best talk to a Mortgage advisor

    Stand alone mortgages are available for BTL's but at a lower Loan to Value in most cases.

    Generally yes but not always. It depends on a number of factors.
