I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Childwall. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Childwall. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending 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 Virgin Money?
You must advise Virgin Money prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.
