The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Aberdare. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish 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 Virgin Money?
You must advise Virgin Money in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions.
