I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Ruxley. 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Coventry BS must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions.
