Approach your lender and ask them for permission to convert to a "Buy to Let" basis as you would like to rent out your property. They will probably charge for this but not a lot. You can keep with repayment method or they may let you change to a capital payment if you want to. They will require sight of AST agreement and you will have to get Landlords Buildings insurance, try UKinsuranceNet.com, they are reasonable. Your lender will probably want sight of your ins policy too. Don't forget you need to get a gas and electric safety check done too and certificates verifying that they've been done.

1. The question is specific to the UK so the answers should focus on the UK.
2. Prior to the creating of the AST many UK mortgages formally restricted your right to rent the property out. There was a problem with evictions so lenders did not want to have to deal with tenants.
3. Subsequent to the reforms in the late 1980s and the mid 1990s the problems with evictions were largely resolved. Lenders started to offer BTL mortgages so that private individuals could buy rental properties.
4. Most mortgages these days that are for a primary residence do not contain restrictions concerning renting the property if you move out. Or they have a clause indicating that you need to notify the lender first.
5. Some lenders will confirm that they have no concerns if you do live there first and there was an honest change of plans later. Just keep making the payments.
So, check your mortgage agreement. Assume there will be little issue.

Check the terms of your mortgage agreement first of all. It may prohibit the leasing of all or part of the property subject to a mortgage or not at all. Obviously, no-one on this website can comment upon the details of the document.
However, the general principle is that if it is not prohibited by the agreement that you have entered into with the lender of course you are permitted to make a lease.

you may ought to examine your very own loan records to be attentive to how your very own loan works, yet no. some mortgages are meant for popular properties only. Others allow you to make the valuables condo after some volume of years. Your coverage and taxes will exchange for as long as you have the residing house, so as this isn't any longer likely germane. this isn't any longer an automated subject that the charge will enhance in case you progression out. The costs for proprietor occupied properties are decrease than for condo. They positioned those clauses in via fact people say they plan to stay there, yet meant to hire all of it alongside and only needed a greater advantageous cost. If the lender nicely-knownshows out you have violated between the words of the internal maximum loan, he could be waiting to call it. Your docs will inform you techniques your very own loan works. you additionally can call the lender and ask them. this is probable the terrific direction of action.

I did this, you need to talk to your lender tell them the circumstances and I would think in the majority of cases they will not have a problem agreeing - you will of course have to pay for this permission - usually around GBP 50.
Don't agree with earlier postings about you having to change to buy to let mortgage - I would think if you have lived in the property as your main home existing arrangements would remain in place.

Normally if you have a mortgage on a property, then you can not sub-let it, as it is still the property of the bank/lender. But it all depends on how much is owed, if you owe the lender 70%+ you cannot but less than this you can. But someone else said, refer to your terms and conditions.

You usually have to change the mortgage to a 'Buy to Let' Mortagage and you may be taxed on the rent as this is classed as a form of income. Speak to your mortagage company.

Some banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your property, but you have to inform them of someone else living there, otherwise if anything happens it can make your insurance null and void.
