I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Enfield. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Enfield. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide 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 Santander?
You must advise Santander in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Santander directly. You need not do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.
