I have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Higham Wood. Conveyancing was finalised some time 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?

You must advise Yorkshire BS prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions.

You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
