I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Chesterton. The Chesterton property was put into my name in May. I want to move.

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Chesterton. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish 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 Principality?
Principality must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent 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 Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.
