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 Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel firm.

There is not much else in Shipston on Stour in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
