The mortgage over my property is with Principality for my property in Lydiate. 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 Principality?

Principality must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions.
