I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cullercoats. The Cullercoats property was put into my name in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Cullercoats. Conveyancing was finalised 12 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 before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’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 Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.
