I currently have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Blythe Bridge. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Skipton must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Blythe Bridge basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Blythe Bridge conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat.

The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Blythe Bridge do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat.
