Hi,
My father retires this year and is looking to help my brother get a house. My parents own house value approx € 180k. When he retires he will be living on state pension plus small private pension, so rough €300pw between both incomes. My mother will be working for another 8 years part time and earns €200 per week.
Would my parents be considered for buy to let ( going to let to brother untill it's paid ), the house is 70k and have 20k deposit

Thanks
