The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Crawley Down. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions.
