The mortgage over my property is with Nationwide for my property in Cannock. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?

Your original mortgage agreement with Nationwide will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nationwide will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.

I simply don't know who is right.

Your conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank.
