Help with renting out my house

Hello everyone

What a fantastic forum I must say. Very chuffed to have found it.

Can anyone give me some advice please? I've decided to rent out my current residence as I'm about to put in an offer for another house and would like to keep my current house rather than have to sell it.

Does this mean I would have to change my mortgage (eg to a BTL mortgage)? My current mortgage has a very high early repayment fee and the fixed term doesn't end for nearly another two years so i'd really prefer not to have to have to change it if that is possible. Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you

Maestro

    You can go to your existing lender and ask them for consent to let - see what they say.
