Can I buy a property on buy to let and rent it to myself (UK)?

However, you are not alone in asking if a Buy to Let mortgage can be used to buy a home that will be rented to themselves. And the answer is no, and you won't be able to let the property to yourself. Buy to let mortgages are for homes that the borrower plans to buy and let to someone else who are not their family member or themselves. If you wish to buy a property to live in then you will have to get a standard residential mortgage to live.
