What is the criteria for a Let to Buy?

You will generally be required to meet certain criteria, such as not exceeding a borrowing limit that is 75%-80% of the value of your current property. Typically, you would be required to demonstrate a substantial rental income above the mortgage cost and be able to show you are buying a new property at the same time of switching your mortgage. These are not necessarily prerequisites but in the majority of cases this would be true. Of course, there are exceptions to these rules, such as moving away for work, and these would be considered on application.

Are There Alternatives to Let to Buy?
This depends on your intentions with regards to the property purchase. Are you looking to sell as soon as possible? Can you plan for the property over 0-2 years, and 2-5 years? In some cases you may be looking at a 0-1 year plan and in short term scenarios such as this it may be worth considering bridging finance as a more appropriate option.
