The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Clitheroe. Conveyancing was finalised 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 UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions.

You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
